Down the mine

In keeping with yesterday, today was another geology day. We headed to Glengowla mines. This was primarily a lead mine and was hand dug.
After arriving just after a school trip  and having to wait in the gift shop we were able to head into the mine.

It was as impressive as the caves yesterday, but its incredible to think this was all dug out by hand. With no explosive.
After the mine we headed to Aughnanure Castle.

The central keep was restored with new floors and a roof so you can get some idea of how life in a castle was lived.
Ciaran cooked again tonight, his third night in a row. We had one pot noodles tonight, a type of chicken stir fry. This cookbook was the best present anyone's has ever given him.
After dinner we had another Rummikub session but I kept getting hassle for thinking to much about my moves. Of course, Ciaran sending me texts while playing imploring me to speed up didn't help!
