Dia Duit From Ireland
Finally after a day long of flying from Chicago, Illinois at 1am CST Tuesday we finally landed in Sligo Airport at 6 pm GMT Wednesday evening. It was a cool 48 degrees unlike in Illinois it was a windy 10 degrees. The first thing we saw was their Woolen Mill. It was cool. Then we went downtown to rent a hotel.
