Slow paced day. Leitrim to Shannonbridge

Visited the Rothcraghan Visitors Centre which was small but nice. Enjoyed their morning tea.

Before lunch we went to an amazing backyard local museum called Derryglad folk and heritage museum... over 8000 pieces to look at from the past 200-ish years... kitchen items, farming equipment, war memorabilia, local sports memorabilia, mock school classroom, cobbler, and chemist. The old man that owns it showed us through a fair bit of it. He was born on the farm next door, the youngest of 11 children.

Have a guess at what the mystery item is in the pictures... answer when you see us.

After lunch we went to the Clonmacnoise Monastic site where there are 3 High Crosses preserved indoors (replicas outside) as well as 7 churches in various states of ruin. The smallest is said to be the tomb of St. Ciaran. People go on a pilgrimage to the site and have done for over 1500years.

We found a nice riverside camp set up in Shannonbridge for the night.
