Just after leaving Enniskillen we spotted an opportunity and followed the signs to Monea Castle built for Scottish born Malcolm Hamilton in 1618 about five years before he became the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Cashel. We had an absolutely delightful time wandering through the castle, taking pictures, doing a bit of amateur videography, and imagining life in a castle four hundred years ago.
Cruising Canada’s Coast
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
What a delightful and unexpected treasure that rewarded our spontaneity. Hey, we just passed a sign for a castle! Want to go? Yes!!! Alice got really good at u-turns.
It was so cool to have everyone feel so easy with spontaneous decisions to just stop and do something that looks interesting!
