DAY 6: HEADING FOR WALES & ENGLAND. A little out of order.

Here is our group in front of the tourist trap that has gown up around the little village that has the longest name in Welsh, perhaps in the world.



Here is Ms Prichard with some of the kids in the ramparts of Beaumaris Castle, in Wales.



Here is Grant, standing in the main entrance of Beaumaris Castle, wondering why everyone else is not keeping up with him. Go Grant!



Beaumaris Castle, one of those built by William the Conquerer, when he was trying to finish up with subduing Wales. We had a nice stop here, the town is a very nice sort of sea-side place.

Day 6: BYE TONY!

Thursday morning, we bade good-bye to our favorite driver, Tony, as we unloaded onto the ferry from Ireland to Wales. Bye, Tony!

DAY 5: IRISH FOLK EVENING. That night we went to an Irish Folk evening, which was more like a great Irish Music concert interrupted by pretty good if

Another not-so-good photo of Joelle dancing on stage.



The dancing folks wanted audience participation, so they picked Joelle from our group to help out. Here is a not so good photo. I was too far back, and it was too dark. We tried, and she had fun.



Pepe never ceases to amaze! Here he is dancing with a whole table full of women at the Irish Folk Cultural Evening. We all had fun.

DAY 5: GUINNESS FACTORY TOUR. The largest industry in Dublin! They also give more money to charity than anybody else.

Here are some of our group by the monument to the time the pope spoke to 1.1 million people in Phoenix Park in Dublin.



3 more of our kids on trhe back of that same moinument.



This is what the typical Guinness worker/drinker looks like after 30 years! At least that is what some local way says. This is across the street from the factory.



Thomas Mitchell outside the Guinness Brewery Exit. Great sign.



The entrance to the Guinness brewery tour. Very interesting. Science, Chemistry, & Math.

DAY 5: DUBLIN CITY,On our way to Guinness, we had lunch in the oldest pub in Ireland

It was a pretty good lunch, outside, where it was just cool enough. The staff is really good! The food is fresh, as well.



This is supposed to be the oldest pub in Ireland. Here is our Guinness tour group getting ready to eat lunch.

DAY 5: DUBLIN CITY,We found a piece of the old Dublin city wall that has been lost for 800 years.

Here we are at the old Dublin City wall. We were lucky, some guy sold it to us very cheaply!

DAY 5: DUBLIN CITY, a bus tour, then Free Time!

After the tour, including seeing the Book of Kells, we split up into different small tour groups, and went off. Our group, mostly shown here, went on to lunch & the Guinness Brewery tour. Here we are standing next to the statue of Molly Malone. Glad it was a statue, as it looks like she is about to fall out of her top!



Jackson is inspecting the tile floor of the St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. It is only 120 years old, but is one of the loveliest I have ever seen.



Some of the girls having fun in St. Pat's cathedral.



This is one of the most famous doors in Dublin. It was built especially (extra wide) for King Edward's visit, then Kind Edward (of England) cancelled due to a terrorist scare. Unfortunately, two of our folks are shown here boycotting the photo! It is a pretty door.
