It was 4-5 stories up. The staircase was spiral, narrow and wet.
But I came to Ireland and I was gonna kiss the stone.

I loved the construction of the castle.
It was amazing.

I could have spent much more time at this fort.
When I get home I am going to have to go to
St. Augustine and visit the historic Spanish fort there!
