Another full Irish breakfast to start the day. yes, there seems to be a predictable pattern.
Peter Collins (a professor at St. Mary’s) gave us 2, 000 years of Irish history in 1 hour! The “troubles’ in the North are making more sense now.
We enjoyed a scenic ride to Armagh, the ecclesiastical center of the island. At St Patrick’s Cathedral (there are any such named cathedrals in Ireland – this one being Church of Ireland, not the nearby Roman Catholic one) we visited the Registrar, the Library, and the cathedral and crypt.
Our evening was free, so we went to White’s Tavern (established in the 17th century), then had dinner at The Crown, and another pint at Fibber McGee’s.
