Day 10 continued:
A strange thing we noticed in Ireland was diesel was a little cheaper than gas. But both higher than the UK. They sell it by the liter same as the UK. The price of a gallon of diesel from this station would be $7.23.
A shop in Donegal, Ireland has the right idea.
At a wool weaving demonstration, they offered everyone an Irish Coffee. I had heard of it but not being a coffee drinker, I had never tried one. Of course, the addition of whiskey made the black coffee taste good! (I got their recipe.)
One spool of wool thread is equal to the wool of 3 or 4 sheep and is between 300 to 400 yards.
Where we attended the wool demo. That's the Irish flag in the middle. At the bottom you'll notice how the Irish people use an umbrella as a shield.
My pictures don't show it very well but instead of a town square, Donegal has a town triangle. The stores are on the 3 sides of the triangle. There was some construction in the triangle and it is partitioned off in the picture.
After the demonstartion and Irish Coffee our group exited through the gift shop of course.
I sent this picture in a text to our granddaughters and told them Granna (Patsy) had been guilty of this. They didn't believe me.
Ireland, like America, spells Whiskey with an E and will Yield rather than Give Way as they do in the UK.
Kilronan Castle, our home for the next two nights.
More later:
