Traveling around Tullamore

admin

Tullamore, Ireland is an interesting place to visit for a couple days and especially to go out to the Belvedere estate where you can visit even with the kids. There are a number of activities there for the whole family so it looks like an enjoyable place to spend an afternoon if the weather is good. A lot of it is outside and the beautiful gardens and views are very nice. And of course you can visit the Tullamore Dew whiskey brewery in town which is very famous. It’s a very good whiskey.

Of course the Minnesota Vikings are extremely famous here. Actually I have no idea why they had these T-shirts in the shop but I let my Minnesota friends know they are famous.
Cathedral of Christ
Inside the cathedral
A really beautiful wall painting
Of course you need to have state of the Art Bose speakers. I don’t notice these in Italian churches but maybe they just have better acoustics?

the Belvedere house and Gardens. What really cut my eye was that I used to live on an island called Belvedere

There must be good trout fishing here
Evidently the earl, the father, was not a very nice guy and the son was nicer but through conflict they lost control of the estate
You might think I flew up here to take the photo. I didn’t,. I took a photo of a photo

I guess this is where ice was stored, way out detached from the main building
