This was another interesting stop that we took in the afternoon. We would call (Gaol) a Jail now. This was a jail in operation for 100 years, opening in 1824 and was only used as a jail for women. It was considered a very modern and comfortable jail for it's time but didn't look like a place I would want to stay. I believe Julie would have made a perfect model inmate here but she would have to be "deloused" before entering. We had the same cab driver taking us to these tourist sites. He was a friendly bloke and asked me if they taught English in the American schools. I said yes and that it was required, he then asked why couldn't we speak it. Maybe kissing the Blarney Stone will help our Irish accent.
