Lú - Festival of lights
I always find amazing how community driven Ireland is... There's always do much to do and see for almost everyone. Sometimes at a price, mostly for free. The people of Ireland loves going out and doing things, doesn't matter what the weather throws their way... So when in Ireland, do as the Irish...
Last night we attended Lú - Festival of light in Drogheda with some fellow South Africans. The evening started off with an amazing home cooked meal at Pieter and Estée, followed by the festival.
The festival consists of three land mark buildings that's being light up with story's, replaying every 10-15 minutes. You walk from one building to the next, on your own time, listening to what each site has to present. Along the way you will alsl find people "playing" with fire and a small market in one of the churches.
Even though it was cold and wet outside, the streets were still filled with people from all ages. It's amazing to see that a little bit of rain doesn't scare anyone. You simply put on the right clothing and out you go!
What a privilege to stay in a country where we can enjoy the freedom of being outside...
