Passing
Thru Drumshanbo

n
our first trip out of Carrick-On-Shannon, we were travelling
to Ballinamore to find the Genealogical
Library. We were passing through Drumshanbo and thought what
a cute town it was! There were beautifully painted buildings
and we had to stop and take some photos.
One
of the best things we liked about Ireland was the colorful
exteriors of the shops
and, especially, the pubs. This quaint little town is located
on a hill and the road from Carrick joins in half-way down
the slope. There is a small roundabout with road signs
pointing in every direction. We had our first experience grocery
shopping
in Drumshanbo. We went into a small store and purchased
some ground coffee, freshly baked scones and strawberry jam.
We
also picked up some biscuits (cookies), some red lemonade
and orange shandy tonic.
The
shops carry the usual and most popular
American sodas but theirs have fruit juice in them. I
was very curious about the way the Irish food products were
packaged because they are so different from ours. Instead
of big, value-packed or family-sized items, theirs are
small and maybe enough for
one or two days.
I spent quite a long time just looking at things and
I enjoyed every minute of it.
