Last week I was dropped in the town centre of Letterkenny, and had some time to look around and go wherever I wanted. So I walked all around the town and discovered most of the shops.
My first stop was St. Eunan's Cathedral.
It's huge and amazing! Unfortunately I couldn't go inside because I got there right after the Holy Mass started, but even the outside is wonderful, I really love that rose window. They have a Mass in Irish Gaelic every month, and I think I'll go to the next one even though I'm sure I won't understand a word :D
There's a small square in front of the cathedral with a big Celtic cross.
This was actually the first Celtic cross I've ever seen in my life. A few days later I saw another one when we drove through Ramelton. So I think I'll see plenty of them later, when I'll travel around the country.
I've already found the most dangerous place of the whole town: the second-hand bookshop. It's pretty cheap and has a wide choice of books and DVDs. I even found interesting stuff in Irish Gaelic, so I won't get near that shop again until I can save some money. Anyway, they also buy books, so if I'll have something I don't need anymore, I know where to sell it.
Some days later, when I had another walk around the house, I accidentally found the lake of Grendel's mother :D
She even has her own private toilette (left side behind the lake; barely visible, but it's still there).
And the next photos were taken just about ten minutes' walk from home. Impressive. I wish I had a better digital camera...
Typical Irish landscape with lazy sheep. The purple, green and blue sheep of Minecraft are actually real - you probably can't see it in the last picture, but people do paint their sheep different colours so that they can recognise them when using a common pasture land.
