Drogheda is History!

This past Saturday started off like any other Saturday: market, library, brunch and ice cream (or here in Ireland a "99", vanilla soft serve with a Cadbury chocolate flake).

On Friday night, our landlord had texted us and asked if we could chat, so we had an appointment to meet her at our flat at 3pm. Although we both felt the appointment seemed rather ominous, neither of us were prepared for the news.

WE'VE BEEN EVICTED!!!

Well, not exactly. But yes, essentially. Due to unforeseen personal reasons, our landlord has asked us to vacate our flat in the next few weeks. Despite initial shock and disappointment, we have pivoted our plans and are now more excited than ever for what's next in our adventure. We've ordered Eurail passes and after our parents visit in mid-September, we are hitting the open train track to explore the continent for the month of October before heading back to a new flat in Ireland for November and beyond.

Since we're leaving Drogheda soon, we decided to ramp up our exploration of all the history this town has to offer. On Sunday we visited Millmount museum, a fortified army tower with fantastic views of the river and town.

Getting kicked out of your flat
is not something to lose your head over
