Day 8 and our Last Day in Limerick

Today’s our last full day in Ireland, and the boys have had lots of free time to roam around. We started the day with a short walk to King John’s Castle located on King’s Island in Limerick, next to the River Shannon. The guys took a tour, and then we headed over the St. Mary’s Cathedral, which was built in 1168. After that, it was off to Locke’s Bar, a neat little pub, where the boys were offered Irish stew or chicken kiev. I think I saw 3 bowls of Irish stew come through the line with the rest of the group opting for the chicken.

We’re going out tonight for a traditional fish and chips dinner, and then it’s off to bed. We’re up and outta here at 6:30 am tomorrow morning and headed for a long day in airplanes and airports until we land in Seattle Saturday night around 10:00 pm.

I took a few pics today of King John’s Castle, St. Mary’s Cathedral and Locke’s Bar. I’ve also uploaded all of Father Hightower’s pictures to the Flickr account. Here’s the link to all the sets in case you missed one along the way. We’ll see you tomorrow night. You did remember that we need a ride home, right? Don’t leave us sitting on the curb all night. :)
