donegal castle

last weekend we visited Donegal Castle to go to a spring fete.  It was our first time in the castle.  When we got there, a woman told us to go to the top floor to see some young children perform Irish dancing.  We were quite impressed considering they were very young.  We didn't take any photos of the dancers due to their age.

the left sde of the castle doesn't have a roof over it.  We wondered if they used the space to entertain people on a nice summer day.  Sometime this summer we will go back for a tour where we can learn more about the castle.
