I've been to Weston many times, and I really like it. It's a short drive from my home in Parkville. This time I shot some photos and jotted down a name or two. Being a good Irish Catholic lad, I included the church and the pub among the places I visited.

| These first 13 pictures are Holy Trinity Catholic Church, founded 1842. That's Father Thomas Hawkins, parish priest, out front. A very nice man. | ||||

These last 13 pictures show O'Malley's 1842 pub (note it's the same year as the church). Mr O'Malley served my Guinness and Bob Reeder provided Irish music. Side-by-side pictures show the entrance tunnel in its natural state and lit by the camera flash. | |||
