From Portstewart, to Donegal, to Sligo

We left Portstewart and spent a night in the lovely Donegal region of Ireland.  The next day, we stopped in Sligo before settling into Knock for a few days.

A monastic ruin in Donegal.  This was a Franciscan monastery in the 15th Century, and is now a graveyard:

The bishops of Sligo date back to the 1100's:
