Sligo

Or, as I started thinking of it, Sleigh-go; as that is what it sounded like after we asked someone to pronounce it. Day started cold and rainy, but we set of in search of the Yeats house, Museum and statue - eventually found all three, but the house/museum were closed for renovations

We then headed off around the tow, seeing the empty Sligo Abby, before heading back out of town to go to Yeats' gravesite and heading to the megalithic cemetery Carrowmore, by which time the sun had come out and the day was warm, allowing for great views of the site.
Down the Conmerra penninsulia to Letterfrack, where we will start at Kylemore Abby in the morning.
Mom's dessert.....
And mine....
