Enniskillen Castle

Hi ... Made it back from Northern Spain and now I'm back in Ireland ... Northern Ireland to be exact, where I'm standing in front of Enniskillen Castle
And here's a little geography/history lesson on Ireland ... Northern Ireland and Ireland are distinct political entities. Although they share the same island, Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom (which includes England, Wales, and Scotland) ... It uses the British pound for money. Ireland ... Or sometimes referred to as the Republic of Ireland ... Is its own country, uses the euro, etc. I know, I know ... Probably a little boring, but most Americans don't understand that when you say "Ireland" ... You might be talking about the whole island, the republic, or the province.
