We finished our journey with one night at beautiful Clontarf Castle just outside Dublin. We boarded
our plane the next morning early for home, but while en route to Clontarf Castle and
Dublin, we visited the Ulster-American Historical Park which displays examples
of early Irish life, informs about the potato famine, and provides examples of
what Irish immigrants encountered after arriving in America.
