Spending Time in Galway, Ireland 1995

A visit to Lynch's Castle in Galway. I could find nothing to support Jenny's statement that Lynch then hanged himself after sentencing his son to death (More info below). We also spend some time playing Bowlingo or Ten Pin in the local video arcade and then some full-size bowling later that evening. From Wikipedia: A legend states that James Lynch, during his term as mayor, sentenced his son to death for "broken trust" and murder of "a stranger", and personally hanged him from a window of his own house. The earliest extant account was written by a Spanish Dominican in 1674. James Mitchell argues that the story is a pure myth, since numerous earlier accounts of the period make no mention of it. Later accounts state that the "stranger" was a Spaniard. By the eighteenth century, the site of the hanging was identified as a house in Lombard Street whose facade included stones inscribed with the date 1624, a skull and crossbones, and the motto "REMEMBER DEATHE / VANITI OF VANITI & ALL IS BUT VANITI".
