Christianity arrives in Ireland
Examining specimensOne of the places we visited on the Wexford coast was Lady Island. It is a popular pilgrimage site from August to September. It was considered a sacred place long before Christianity arrived on these shores. It is also a good area for bird watching. We also went to a Heritage Park where we saw the types of dwellings used in Ireland from the earliest known to about 800 years ago.
There is something refreshing about the sea air. I am not sure if it is the ozone or the salt but it seems so fresh and invigorating. It was also very curious to see the effect of waves compressing air on the rocky seashore at Hook Head. As the waves rushed in to fill the rocky crevices, the air was forced out in a spray of foam, water and air. On the more sandy shores Gabriela and Cosmin were fascinated by the variety of sea shells on the beach. We went on a short ferry ride,very short, from Arthurstown to Passage East. I did not even have time to get out of the car when we arrived at the other shore!!! We managed to take in most of the coast road to Ballycotton. We stopped for dinner in Youghal. I was exhausted when we arrived at the B&B in Ballycotton. The B&B was probably the worst we stayed in during the trip but I was happy to get to bed.
