1 After Moher, we were on to Limerick, setting for one of our favorite books
2 The local wildlife came out to welcome us
3 We had dinner at an excellent pub on the Shannon River, with Laurel and Hardy
4 The pub grub had both Irish stew and seafood, some of which we consumed
5 Directly across the river from the pub is King John's Castle, dating from 1200 A.D.
6 It's photgenic both close up and in wider angle
7 The next morning we toured the castle
8 Though not the best inside and overpriced, it was photogenic inside, too
9 There are no furnished rooms; just artifacts of skirmishes and wars fought there
10 Some views of the river from the castle walls 1
11 Some views of the river from the castle walls 2
12 Some views of the river from the castle walls 3
13 The Shannon is only one of many in Ireland, but is its greatest
14 One of the castle towers
15 En route back to Dublin we visited a heritage theme park
16 Touring the park, on a farm way out in the sticks, cost 5 Euros
17 Though nothing in the park is authentic, it is photogenic. This is a 'Knights Templars' church
18 Inside the church
19 A 'Druid rire ring' made us think we'd have been better off touring the Angela's Ashes display
20 A dolmen. That's what the sign calls it....
21 A ring fort
22 A village representing prehistoric residences
23 A 'holy well.' If you missed all the real ones in Ireland, this will afford a photo op.
24 The hydrangeas are authentic, and exceptional, along with an extensive flower garden
25 A few miles on the road is Adare, home of the major street of thatched roof buildings
26 It's been made famous in the movies
27 The next morning we flew to London, then to Waterloo Station to catch Eurostar to France
28 The view outside the London Eurostar station waiting area
