When I visit historic pieces of architecture I always try and imagine what life was like for the people that walked about in them. So many people are gone and forgotten while others have left a mark on history. 

While in Dublin I saw the site of my great grandfathers death but first a look at a historic Castle.

The Rock of Cashel is not far from the famous Tipperary and its oldest tower dates from 1100 AD

Once again the sky with its white fluffy clouds is a prominent piece of whatever the eye takes in!

The O'Connell bridge in Dublin where my great grandfather was shot and killed as a civilian bystander during the Easter Uprising in 1916!

Striking sculptures depicting migrating sufferers of Ireland's Great Famine from 1845 to 1852

You can really feel the suffering depicted in the sculptures!

The bartender at this pub got @lellabird60 to fill theses 2 pints of Guiness! The people in Ireland are a lot of fun!

Its been great to visit Ireland for the first time in my life and see where my mom's side of the family was from!

What About You?

• Have you visited the home of your ancestors?
• Do you plan to do so?
• Is their any intrigue in your past?

I hope that you enjoyed this last piece of my trip to Ireland.

Until next time,
