First Day - Dundalk

We went straight to Dundalk after landing in Dublin, where we stayed with a friend's aunt and uncle.  They immediately took us to Saint Brigid's shrine nearby, where many miraculous cures have been obtained by touching these rocks:

The birthplace of Saint Brigid:

Our Lady of Lourdes grotto nearby:

Saint Oliver:

The cemetery in Dundalk, where the last king of Ireland is buried: 

Ladywell - every year at midnight on the Feast of the Assumption, the dry well miraculously fills up in the middle of the summer.  Here it is full due to the rainstorm:

Chris and I in front of Ladywell:

Back to the house for some local Irish Whiskey:

And steak and potatoes:

And Irish chocolate:

The next day, we traveled to Portstewart (Northern Ireland) to stay with my friend Theresa, whom I met in Lourdes last summer.  Pictures will be posted soon!
