Boxing Day

Today is Boxing Day, aka St. Stephens Day.........also a big shopping day! We drove over to Birr, to see Birr Castle. Unfortunately it was closed. The earls of Rosse still live in the castle, but the gardens are open for tourists. We walked around the town center. Pretty quiet, all the shops were closed. Tim drooled over all the stone work. He keeps lamenting that he was born in the wrong century. We turned down a stone alley that opened into a couple closed shops and home and saw this little blue car. It's a Riley Elf Mk III. Maybe we'll try and stuff one in our suitcase........it just might fit.
