Ireland

Jonah was excited to see the Anderons when we arrived in Dublin.  He enjoyed some 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' with Alex and Charlie.

St. Patrick's cathedral, Dublin - a protestant church in the catholic south

We enjoyed learning about the legends surrounding St. Patrick, the snakes and the shamrock.

Picnic outside St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Jonah at the Rock of Cashell

The Rock of Cashell is a large rock (really more like a hill) that once had a castle on it that was fought over quite a bit.  At some point one of the sides wizened up and gave the rock to the church.  So the castle has morphed from a political power spot to a church with a small abby at the base.

Charlie and Jonah were knights finding dragons at the Rock of Cashell.
