Day9_Cragannouen

Ok, we had a spare ~2 hours, so we decided to sneak in one more thing. Needed to get some standing stone info for my Mother, so we found Cragannouen not far away (amazingly this was one of the ONLY standing stone thing we found in Ireland... myabe we were in the wrong parts). We did not even have enough Irish coinage left for admission, so pleading our case, that we had 30 minutes and would have to run to the airport, we were admitted for everything we had left, which was somewhat short of the read admission price. Picked up the site map, jogged from numbered location to numbered location, and jumped back in the car and off to Shannon.

The rental car return was done with held-breath... no charge for all the scratches on the passenger side (scratches from the branches we had sacrificed in place of hitting other vehicles head-on on the divided sidewalk highways). Then to check in and scramble thru the duty-free shop.

Got lucky and snagged a seat in the row with the main door, so I had 10 feet of legroom in front of me. Got to see "Shrek" (great flik) and "A Knights Tale" on the way home.

Back to JFK to switch planes (can I just say that JFK is a pit), and back to Raleigh.
