Near Sligo we go to Dromahair by accident

                                            and visited a castle (Parke Castle on Lough

                                            Gill).  We are looking for the tourist center

                                            and end up at the

                                            restored castle

                                            where we both

                                            got the senior

                                            citizen rate (a
                                            first for me!)  We


                                            really just want to
                                            use the restroom

               but the uniformed woman says we

               have to pay admission, see the slide

               show and have tea and scones in

               the stable.  All-Righty then!  We

               have to pee pretty badly so we pay.

               I suspect she feels bad taking our money (£.75) for a pit stop so

               that’s why I get the discount too – at least that’s what I tell

               myself.  We see the slide show about Ireland’s National

               Monuments and prehistoric ruins.


               We are going to

               Carrowmore later in

               the trip but after seeing

               the show we decided to

               pass on hunting more

               stones. We drive on to

               Inniscrone where M’s

               daughter-in-law’s

               mother was born.
