We exchanged emails. Once home I looked up information about Sligo and found at the bottom of the Wikipedia article that Sligo and my town of Tallahassee are sister cities, or twin cities. One of those synchronicities that seem so common on the Camino.MermaidLillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05439899054151056502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-16555554171384084402011-07-23T21:42:50.875+01:002011-07-23T21:42:50.875+01:00Only a very few, Dan ...

A few years back, Margaret and I spent a little time in and around Sligo. What I remember most was the grave of Yeats, outside of Silgo as I recall. I've always loved the epitaph carved on his tombstone, "Cast a cold eye on life, on death. Horseman pass by." If memory serves me correctly, those are also the last words of "Under Ben Bulben."Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-84643157307281512552011-07-20T20:35:10.192+01:002011-07-20T20:35:10.192+01:00You seem to have crammed a lot into your Ireland t...You seem to have crammed a lot into your Ireland tour.
