We got to Sligo Town at about 3:30 in the afternoon. It was such a beautiful day – sunny with big white clouds in the sky. Sligo is a busy place, and of course we were there on a Saturday, the busiest day of the week. We found parking along the river. We had to run the gauntlet of an aul’ one who might have been waiting for the space that we took. Treasa wanted to see the shops so we split up. I went looking for a cybercafe and she wandered around the town centre.
Later in the afternoon we got together again. I had already met Emily and Aaron on the street. They were in Sligo to pick up a rental car at the airport. Treasa and meself went to the Yeats Memorial Building (where there is a little restaurant) to have coffee and a sandwich.
By the time we were finished the shops were starting to close up. We hurried to Tesco to buy a chicken for the Sunday dinner. Tesco has self-checkout but that’s a misnomer since we had so many problems with the machine that the supervisor ended up checking us out. Whoever came up the concept gets my vote for most useless modern invention.
We left Sligo at 6:30 so that we could be back in the Gleann for the big opening meeting of Scoil Shamhraidh.
