May 20th, 1961-Wexford, Ireland (Hotel Talbot)


  • May 20th, 1961
  • Wexford, Ireland (Hotel Talbot)
  • Warm and sunny.

Woke to a glorious morning-bright sunlight, ocean sparkling.  Took a long walk along the oceanfront and saw the fishermen mending their nets and painting their boats.  Our guide from yesterday came to the hotel with a gift for us - a small linen mat trimmed with real irish lace.  A most engaging gesture and typical of the warm hearts of the Irish.  Had dinner at the hotel and High Tea before we got our train for Rosslare Harbor.  News of a man drowning at Wexford by the conductor of the train. Boat cabin very adequate and weather more agreeable than when we took the boat for Ireland. Went to bed early as we must be up for the 3:55 am train to London tomorrow morning.
