Derry'Londonderry to Donegal

Donegal, Republic of Ireland

We made a quick stop just outside of Strobane for a photo op of the 5 metal statues representing the unification of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland though the use of song, dance, and music. We then past some more small towns and arrived in Donegal at 12:45 p.m. We had until 2:05 to grab some lunch, site see, and shop. Now that we are in the Republic of Ireland, we no longer can use the pound notes of the UK, but European Dollars or Euros. So I had to go to an ATM machine to draw out some money. I found some items regarding the Bradley and Collins family and then grabbed a bite to eat. I went into a pub/restaurant and expected to hear Irish music. Instead I was greeted with John Mellancamp's song, “Jack and Diane.” I had a Shepherd's Pie and a Coke for lunch. It came out in a large, deep soup bowl, so I only could eat about half of it.
