Ireland – Day 2 – Bunratty Castle
We had a slow start today (we didn’t even make it down in time for breakfast at the hotel) but had a good day anyway. We tried to find Dromore Wood, but couldn’t find signs to it. We did stop at a map by the side of the road and found these friendly donkeys. We then went to Bunratty Castle and Folk Park. The castle was built in 1425 and the Folk Park is where they have recreated 19th century Ireland. Back in Ennis Ari was able to find a County Clare hurling jersey and jacket (we love watching hurling over here).

Adorable donkeys!
My Celtic folklore professor at UNC, who was Irish, had a nice scar on his forehead from his teen years spent playing on a hurling team.
