With a plan to get going by 9:00, we failed miserably by not even waking up until 9:45. We rushed around, trying to get out the door so that we could take the Angela's Ashes tour of Limerick at 11:00. Once in the car, however, we became thoroughly confused and didn't arrive in Arthur's Quay until nearly noon. We went to the Tourist Information Office and found out that there wouldn't even be a tour today because the tour leader was sick. It was beginning to really rain so we opted to head to the Hunt Museum to eat lunch and stay dry.Klif and Jordan went walking while we went through the museum. It's a small museum, but the artifacts are pretty amazing. My head can't wrap around how old these things are! After the museum we still had the rest of the afternoon ahead of us so we walked to St. Mary's Cathedral. It was really raining hard so we ducked inside the entryway to dry out a bit. Klif and I went inside and took pictures of the cathedral while Jordan and Kris stayed with the stroller. Ella had fallen asleep on the way over so we wanted to let her get some rest (after all, she DID wake up about 5 times the night before!).
It was only 3:00 so we decided to look for the Grange Stone Circle out in the countryside. And then we got lost... there was a lot of driving, a lot of turning around, and a lot of confusion. Eventually we got to Lough Gur, but it was closed. Klif, Kris, the kids, and I got out to walk around but quickly chickened out since it was freezing cold, windy, and raining really hard. On the way back to Adare, we spotted an old church and stopped to check it out. Kris, Jacob, and I went tromping around in the mud and wet grass and looked at the old cemetery and an old steeple. It was really interesting, but it felt a little dangerous since it was not a preserved site. Afterwards,
we headed back to the Villas for dinner.
