Day Three
The Day Starts off with a trip to one of the country's fine old manors: Strokestown Park House in County Roscommon. Then we saw the diffrent styles of Irish Cistercian architecture at the 12th Century Boyle Cistercian Abbey ruins. Afterwards we continuted west over the Curlew Hills to Sligo, and on to Tubbernault Holy Well. In the 1700's when Catholics were banned from practicing their religion, these wells were used to secretly hold masses and baptisms.
Tubbernault Holy Well
In this part of the country most of the people speek Irish (not to be confused with English) and are very religious. I took this photo of a little boy drinking from the Tubbernault Holy Well. It was a very nice scene, to bad the photo didn't turn out as nice as I wanted it to.
