Tuesday, August 30 we left Dingle to make our way to Galway. On the drive there we stopped at Bunratty Castle and Folk Park and enjoyed looking through the buildings. The Folk Park features over 30 buildings in a “living” village and rural setting. Rural farmhouses, village shops and streets are recreated and furnished as they would have appeared in that time according to their social standing. The castle is the most complete and authentic castle in Ireland. The site where it now stands was originally a Viking trading camp in 970. The present structure from the 15th century is the last of four castles to be built on the site.

Our house in Galway is big with plenty of room to spread out. Home sweet home for 4 nights.
