13TH DAY-DROGHEDA


October 10, 2018

After leaving the tombs, we went to Drogheda.  That means another beautiful church, St Peters. Inside, it has St Peter's mummified head and a sliver of the cross that Jesus was crucified on.  I won't show the picture of the head, it's kind of gross looking and the sliver is so small, you can't really see it in a picture. Allister, our guide, said there are many, many churches that claim to have a sliver,  so who knows if it's true or not. 






We also went to Old Mollies Beer Garden. If you order a Guinness,  you have to pour it yourself. This was for the tour only, I doubt regular customers do. We both did and got certificates that we poured the perfect Guinness. It is a real art, but the bartender was with us the whole time. 





After you let it sit for a few minutes, you then top it off.







Saw these picnic tables while sipping our Guinness in the beer garden. Had never seen any where the seats fold up. Would be great to keep them dry in the rain



Allister, our guide, is on the left. Oliver, our driver, is on the right.  They were great, making our trip so enjoyable and over the top. Allister is from Derry in Northern Ireland, Oliver is from Limerick, in the Republic of Ireland
