That is some bell tower, especially considering when it was built.  Our country is just getting started compared to Ireland and the rest of the UK.  🙂

 @51fb1883 Hi, Sharon...they sure have a different way of looking at the past than we do...things that happened a thousand years ago are still fresh in the memory...

Ah. So I guess I can blame my Irish heritage for my ability to hold a grudge.  😄

 @51fb1883 some of the things that happened back in the 15 and 1600's are still pretty raw to listen to our tour guide yesterday...and our bus driver this morning...

They've passed on their history and kept it alive.  England has not been a kind "neighbor".
