I’m not sure where this house is. I think it is in Leixlip. I just like it.<\/p>\n

I still wanted to get a real look at Leixlip Castle. A man I met in the Emergency Room told me how to get to the other side of the river, to see it from that angle.<\/p>\n

There it is! A view of Leixlip Castle I have never seen, from the other side of the River Liffey. See the windows?<\/p>\n
