Well, we’ve survived Halloween in Ireland. We’ve learned that here in the land where they invented it, Halloween is a big deal! We were greatly disappointed to not have any trick-or-treaters stop. We saw very few out wandering around the neighborhood. The bigger thing here is to have fireworks and bonfires, so we did get to watch (illegal) fireworks all around the neighborhood for a good share of the night. This time of year there are lots of references to the ancient Celts floating around, and that’s intrigued me to do more reading about them. I’ll write more once I know more, but in the mean time you can read up on Samhain here.
Just two nights before Halloween, we were treated to a very spooky foggy evening, so we took a trip over to the church and shot some pics in the graveyard. Enjoy!
