Our Irish banquet was a BLAST! Surrounding Bunratty Castle, is Bunratty Folk Park where they have recreated a tiny village complete with homes built true to the times. In this village, is where we went to eat our Irish banquet. The food was upstaged by the entertainment. There was singing, Irish dancing, and of course, a sing along. Enjoy the post. Maybe you can feel like you were there with us!

This is challenging when they have plied you with Mead and all the wine you can drink! https://youtu.be/ndWFRJ4_egQ

| Apple pie for dessert, but in all honesty, the Irish don't know how to make apple pie like Americans! |

Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears (this is a beautiful, sad song about immigration for a 15 year old Irish girl. Find it by any artist in it's entirety on youtube and listen.) https://youtu.be/sH2YcvRrExg
