Our last day. Heading home late afternoon. Walked Battery Park to the Irish Hunger Memorial, dedicated to raising awareness of the Great Irish Hunger, in which over one million starved to death between 1845 and 1852 as a result of British policies that prioritized the exportation of profitable foods as most of the potato crop was wiped out by a fungus like organism. A stone from each Irish county was placed on the memorial. The stories from various voices illuminated on the walls.
Goodbye, my dear. Until we meet again….
