Fort Camden, By Anna

Yesterday (9/14) we went for a walk to tour Fort Camden, located on a hill overlooking the entrance to Cork harbor near Crosshaven, Ireland.

 The owners of the boat yard where we are living told us that the fort might be a good place to visit, because their grandfather was the caretaker of the fort so they spent a lot of time there. The next day we went. At the fort they were doing reenactments from WW II. First we saw part of the fort, including the cells (the jail.) The reenactments were just starting so we walked to where the reenactments were starting. We watched the first one and it was loud, loud, loud because of the guns. Finn and I had to put our hands over our ears. After that we walked to the “Square“ they called it, we learned the parts of the suits the Romans were wearing. We got to throw water balloons at the Romans. After that we got some ice cream it was good, then… we got to see another reenactment of WW II and when they did that an Irish man said … “We have to help those bloody yanks again! “ HA, HA, HA” came the crowd. So we then went to an exhibit about September 11^th in America we also learned that the earliest fort built was in 1550, built by the English.
