Katelyn in Ireland: Howth

On Sunday morning I woke up and went down to the harbour to read, which was relaxing but windy. Then Kristyn called and we went over to Howth to walk around. It’s a small fishing town, so there was a nice pier to walk down and we took pictures of the lighthouse (see below). Afterwards we walked up through the town to an old abbey that was built back some time in the 12th century, I think. We got turned around a few times looking for the entrance to the abbey and at one point ended up at some hidden mini paved track thing and then an elementary school. All of the houses were on very strange twisty-turny streets instead of planned out in grids like in the States. After our little adventure sans map, we headed back towards the DART station and stopped to look around the farmer’s market going on. I bought some fudge in Irish coffee and caramel & vanilla twist flavors. It is delicious and so creamy!
