- Rosslare Boat and Wexford, Ireland
- Cloudy in a.m. turning sunny
Arrived at Rosslare Harbor after a rather rolling ocean voyage in the wee small hrs of the morning. Train to Wexford after a very excellent breakfast on board ship. Wexford is a small quaint town 13 miles from Rosslare. The hotel (Talbot) is rated A by the Irish guide for hotels and our room with bath is very comfortable. Went out to explore the place - pop 12,000- area on of the driest and sunniest in Ireland. Streets very narrow. In 1649 Cromwell occupied the town and massacred the inhabitants. People very friendly and all give greetings as they pass. Bought a little dress for Kathleen and a sweater for Dick Sr. Dad wishes to move on as there is little to hold one here. He is out scouting tickets to Dublin.
