Bunratty Castle - Friday night, June 8 - After a day at the quilt show, we took a coach to Bunratty Castle for the medieval festival.  I've put in a  pic from their Web site.  It was a fun experience, although the mead was a little headier than I anticipated.  The menu was grand (mead, bite of friendship, parsnip soup, whiskey soaked spare ribs, chicken with apple/mead sauce and vegies, rastin, coffee and tea).  The Irish music after the meal was so enjoyable.  We didn't get back to the hotel until very late -- but the evening was well-worth the money, time and effort.
