Defending the Castle

Yesterday, we went to Athenry Heritage center and learned about life in Medieval life. We also learned the skill of archery and got dressed up in the clothes of the time. We were maidens, princesses, kings, knights, jesters and even a robin hood. We got to view (and experience!!) some of the forms of punishment at the time.  In the afternoon we went to Clonmacnoise (a monastery foounded ~545AD).  Today is a free day and everyone is getting some sleeping and shopping done.  In the afternoon, we will got to the market and buy groceries for our homemade dinner we are making tonight.
Below is a picture of the group at Athenry.
