Brothers in Ireland
Day 4 - Kinsale to Kilarney
Day 4 - Tuesday, September 11th
Another huge Irish breakfast at
the Waterview B&B. Charles Fort outside Kinsale built in 1610 to defend
against French. Used until 1920 when Irish republicans burned during civil war
after independence. Timoleague Abbey ruin.
Skibereen pub for lunch where we
heard the news about the terrorist attacks in the US a few minutes after the
second plane hit the world trade center. An Irish man in the pub told us to look
at the news playing on the television in the back. We watched for some time in
anger, frustration, sadness, and disgust. As we left the pub, Cal noticed that
the Pentagon had been attacked as well so we returned to the pub to watch again
for some time. Bantry House in Bantry. Beautiful home on the water built in the
early 1700’s. White family purchased in mid 1700’s and still occupies the
property. Beautiful drive to Kilarney. Ross Castle was closed so we took
pictures of the lake at sunset. Drove to Fenit to stay at the West End pub and
inn. Many drinks at the pub with more news coverage.
