Before leaving Kells today, we found some more McEntee roots. Turns out there’s a McEntee store & undertakers who seem to be as related to us as Maura. We stopped in the shop, but no one was in. Snapped pics of the place and then proceed up the street to a 5 story round tower built in 1076 AD. I boosted Phil up inside and he got some cool shots, and we found some cool Celtic crosses in the cemetery, which the English later used to hang the Irish from in the 1700’s . (spit)
From Kells we headed over towards Dublin’s M50 bypass (ring road) and then N7 across the country. Along the way in a little town called Mounthrath, we had some of the best Leg of Lamb ever! We made it from Dublin to Limerick in just under 5 hrs, but hit some really bad construction on our way to Kilarney. It rained solid all day long, so it was a good day to be in a car, since it was miserable outside anyway.
After dinner, at 9 PM the sun finally did come out, so we hurried over to the Dunaloe Pass outside Kilarney and took our car up into the Lochs. It was some very scenic country, and if I can ever figure out a way to post pics again on the blog I’ll try and get a few up for you folks.
Tomorrow will be the “Ring of Kerry” as we’ll work our way over towards the town of Caheraniel. The island of Skellig Michael awaits.
