Lunch on the student traveler's fare of pretzels, cheese, fruit and chocolate on the River Fergus...
One last chance to see Irish ruins...
The Franciscan Abbey... once a monastery and seminary, then an O'Brian stronghold, a court and Church of Ireland Cathedral...
Now a place to be steeped in 13th century Celtic architecture and sculpting...
The Resurrection
The tower itself gives the Abbeys' history, from the Gothic arches to the 18th c. spikes.
A relaxing evening after coffee and lots of wandering,
...a final journaling and mapping session at the Gray Gables. (And an experiment in self-timed photos!)
It's hard to leave, but there's that little occasion of graduation I probably should attend!
