We will come again, so long for now, it was nice being back!

We had a lovely stay in Buncrana,  unfortunately the Easter weekend put a damper on talking to the parish secretary, but we have an email contact and a phone book. (The phone book was acquired legally!) We talked to everyone we met, asking about McDevitt’s and Mc Daid’s. We have some leads. We also met an interesting, rather scary drunk man named Dennis McLaughlin. He offered to introduce us to our relatives, he also told us he was the son of God.  It was a tough decision, but we opted to go back to the hotel and lock our door!

Next time….hopefully we could arrange a McDevitt get together! (Maybe without Dennis! )

Kate and I loaded up our faithful little red Ford and made our way towards Dublin,  via the Newgrange Megalithic passage tomb. We got there just in time to miss the last tour  😦  , next time. We did get to see it from a distance and read about it. All the time saying, Leo would be the best guide for this!

When we left Newgrange, driving along, we were struck by a color so stunning ….

We were so use to the green, the yellow was breathtaking.  Cars stopped just like we did to take in the view, and hope the pictures would do it justice.
Expect great things in simple places, thanks Joe.

We were always on the lookout for anything. We stopped at a cemetery where Agnes Jones, nurse to Florence Nightingale was buried. We actually just happened upon it. Old graves, the writing blurred by time, reminiscing about a life, a father, mother, child, or beloved.

We made it back to Dublin in great time. Returned our little red car. Then checked into our hotel for our last night.

Kate and I shared a wonderful dinner and dessert. Too tired to shop, we return to our room, slipped on our hotel provided robes, and relaxed. Early day tomorrow,  to the airport and back to the states. 

This has been the trip of a lifetime, I’m grateful to all of you for enjoying this with me. It’s been a lovely journey.

Til next time……..
