Day 10 Goodbye Ireland. Its been Grand

We woke up to snow this morning. It was too wet to settle but were walking around the streets in the snow and it was freezing!!! This morning was catching up on missed things, so that meant more photos of monuments. Im sure Sharlee thinks Ive turned into one of those boring old farts that just takes photos of random statues but there is sure alot of history here in Ireland, going back to the Vikings. We did go to the famine memorial. Where 1,000,000 people died and alot of the others had to leave the country to survive. Alot of Irish immigrated to Canada and it was the Canadian government that helped with the memorial. Very haunting but a very real piece of the Irish history.
Then onto Dublin Castle which was more of a palace than a castle but in the city. Some pretty impressive chandaleirs and banquet rooms which are still used today. On the way to the airport we visited the memorial gardens that I wanted to see as that's where a special celtic cross was for the 16 Irish division, that my grandfather fought for in WW1. Unfortunately it was locked away and I thought the place was manned but it wasnt. Then time to return the rental car and off to the airport. It had been such a cold windy day I expected a rough ride but it was really good. Jess said the two after we came in had severe delays so we were lucky. Ireland was a fantastic place to visit. We only saw a very little of it but loved it.
