Muckross House

This was cool, but Mom and I were feeling a bit manor-housed-out. So we quickly made our way to the servant areas. The bells used to call the servants each had a specific tone to identify who was needing service.

Eventually it was gifted back to the Irish, and became the first National Park in Ireland. It's part of the Ross Castle property as well.
We had lunch at the Cafe in the gardens, where the Crows quickly friended us. One boldy came up to me and opened up his beak for a treat. Cute!Baca lagi
