Our next stop is at the Connemara Marble Workshop in Moycullen.

 
The owner of the company gives us a talk about the marble - works and explains where the marble comes from. We take the motorway back to Limerick. Back at our hotel we get this shot of the neighborhood and fields beyond. Another view of the River Shannon This evening we're going to a traditional Irish dinner and festival at Bunratty Castle.
Before dinner we get to wander through the Folk Park which has closed for the day. Helen, Phil, Winston and Jan sat across from us at the Irish dinner. The Master of Ceremonies and band perform a program of Irish music and dance Saturday, August 20 -- We drive through Adare, known for its thatched roof cottages.
