Welcome to Donegal

A visit to the really northern city of Donegal took us to Drumcliff castle, which has had substantial remodeling and was really interesting. I call it a castle but I think it really is more of a large manor house then a castle.Then we went to a Tweed factory where they use old fashioned looms to do the weaving. Just more of trying to get a feel for the Irish experience.
