Bray


Bray is a fairly large seaside town in County Wicklow that we visited as a group over the weekend. Bray is the fifth largest town in Ireland, and is famous for its various golf courses around its periphery. The Slazenger Estate lies at the edge of the town. The River Durgle flows through the middle of the town, featuring a river walk and the People's Park of Bray. There is a pebble beach and a wharf along the shoreline, with many sailing and fishing boats. I talked with a man named Sean getting ready to go out fishing for mackerel and thresher sharks about two kilometers out from shore, he told me. The mackerel are running in the Irish Sea right now, and my host family and I have been eating them for breakfast this week.
