O'Loughlins

Mom and I had a great day yesterday exploring County Clare, which is on the western coast of Ireland. My aunt Sheila was able to trace our family's roots back to a small town called Kilfenora which is just a few miles inland in Clare. Even more amazingly, my aunt was also able to locate the place where a few of our ancestors are buried. Thanks to our posh British GPS woman, we found the cemetery and paid a visit to Peadar and Padraig O'loughlin...




We also made a wee stop at a Megalithic tomb:


Explored Ailwee Cave:


Weren't sure which way to go in this town:


All in all, a jam packed but fun filled day! We're up early this morning and headed for Kilkenny.
