Declan was thrilled to find out that this man was ALSO named Declan. Mr. Declan was awesome, and wrote out "Declan" in Gaelic, and the meaning of the name for him. He also threatened to charge us 4 times the price because we were Americans.

Um, yeah. We were SUPPOSED to take ear protection up with us for when other people rang the bells below us, but we missed that sign. THOSE BELLS ARE LOUD. Trust me. BRING THE EAR PROTECTION.
