Frank McCourt Museum, Limerick, 30/09/2011
I went with my father and grandmother (who is Irish herself) on a short break to Ireland where we visited the 'Frank McCourt Museum' in Limerick, owned by Mrs. Una Heaton; a local artist and close friend of the McCourt family. They took us around the museum and around the city to see some of the locations mentioned in the book - and finally we had some lunch at South's Pub; where Frank had his first pint and his father drank the wages.
