Thank you Mary - lunch was wonderful!!


3:00ish - Tour northeast Mayo: We'll
stop at several historical and
Munnelly-related places in
Ballycastle, Lacken, Kilcummin,
and Killala. Including Rathfran
Cemetery, Humbert's Landing,
Bessie's Bar (shooting for 4:30),
and the Killala Round Tower.
We've got until dinner time for this 'tour', trying to hit Bessie's at a fairly specific time so the local Munnellys can join us for 'tea' if they like. (Bessie's has a lot of Munnelly history!)

Bonus!: (about 4:30)
Local celebrity Steve Dunford (artist, musician, historian and author!) will be speaking to us about the history of the area at Bessie's. I'm really looking forward to this - tell your friends! (He will have one of his books available to purchase at a discount!)

7:30ish - Casual dinner, live music, and
friends!...at Wolf Dog Tavern
in Killala. There will be lots of
Munnelly 'cousins' to meet and
share histories with! (The locals
are already talking about the
reunion! This is going to be a
good time! Ehmm...how do I say it in Irish?! Good Craic?! :)
