Athlone

We stopped in Athlone for lunch a few years ago on our first Ireland visit. It’s where Claire’s granddad had been living before emigrating to the US.

We wanted to spend a bit more time there on this trip, so we booked 2 nights. In all honesty, the flight over threw me for a loop, so those days were a bit of a blur. I did get to drink a few pints in Sean’s Bar, which, at 1200 years old is the oldest in Ireland, and possibly in Europe.
