Thursday, February 26, 2015. The Old Walled City of Londonderry. Girls are on The Peace Bridge, which crosses the River Foyle.

Roundy World: Back to Ireland!
http://roundytheworld.blogspot.com/2015/02/back-to-ireland.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Lough Eske Castle's evolution: first a Franciscan friary, then a manor, then a castle, then a guest house, and now a hotel. . Here are remnants of the Great Irish Famine, which was caused by a serious potato disease called potato blight from a fungus-like microorganism. This problem was spread throughout Europe, but Ireland was hardest hit because of their greater dependency upon the potato. St John's Point Lighthouse. The best restaurant in Ireland?

Roundy World: Gorgeous Glenariff Forest Park
http://roundytheworld.blogspot.com/2015/02/glenariff-forest-park.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. Gorgeous Glenariff Forest Park. Here's another view of beautiful Ireland's coastline. We enjoyed a stroll through the Waterfall Walkway of Glenariff Forest. We visited a little too early in the spring to see the lushness of the park, but the happy daffodils greeted us and the bare branches kept the mossy stacked stone walls visible.
