Heading To Drogheda - Friday

We've been busy! Between the early mornings, late nights and copious amounts of beer, we are having trouble finding time to do this chore, um, I mean, blog!


We visited the Ulster American Folk Park. This is a reproduction of a typical small church in the 18th and 19th century. This park is kind of like the Acadian Village at home, only bigger.



This is a bog where peat is cut from, to then be dried and burned 
in the fire place (instead of wood).



This is a reproduction of a small Irish town.



Here you see a replica of a boat that immigrants would travel in to the New World.



This is us in front of a replica of a farm house in Virginia.



We then traveled to an old fortified town on the banks of the River Boyne. This is the area
 where a battle was fought between King James and King William in 1690.
