I spent the weekend in Wexford in the 'sunny southeast' as they call it. Between my brother and my dad, we managed to explore some of the forgotten treasures in this part of the country. There were so many crumbling abbeys and castles and some of the houses appeared looked like they were abandoned after the famine of 1847. We were discussing this and wondering when we actually found some evidence of this.
Other highlights were walking along the beach and visiting a fort which had a lot of history connected to it from the rebellious Irish past right up to it being prepared in case Hitler attempted to invade Ireland. It was nice to get out of the big smoke and into the sticks for a bit of adventure.
