My Visit to Dundalk and Blackrock in Ireland

I loved visiting Ireland. It was a unique place to be. Have you ever been there?

I have been visiting Ireland since I was a child because my mother was from County Sligo from a small town called Tubbercurry. The place has changed since I was there as a kid. It has grown from what I have heard from relatives.

This time my husband and I visited Dundalk and Blackrock for a few days. We stayed in a lovely Bed & Breakfast near Blackrock seaside town (picture above). It was only a small town with a few shops, restaurants and a few pubs, but it was good enough for us.

Dundalk was only a five-minute drive away. This is a much bigger town than Blackrock. There is lots to do there too. There are cafes, pubs, shopping, a cinema, a dog track, restaurants, churches to explore and more. We visited there because my husband's mother was born there and buried in Dundalk graveyard.
