2022 The Ireland Trip

We just went to Ireland and saw the old Boilers' homestead!! There were a bunch of kids dressed like leprechauns who chased us away with sticks. Apparently this area has been really hurt by tourism, and a lot of (American) tourists have been really disrespectful to the local customs and culture. So, apparently the locals have taken to dispatching kids and teenagers to roam around and chase anyone who tries to go onto properties they're not supposed to.

I guess technically there was a sign telling us not to go onto the old Boilers property because it wasn't safe, probably because it'd fallen into disrepair after they passed away a number of decades ago, but I thought we'd at least be able to get a bit of a closer look. After a long conversation with one of the neighbors my husband persuaded them to let him fly his drone around the property for some pictures.
