    3. There is much more to be seen at the goal (jail) than at the site of Thomas Wynne's home. The two hours represents a minimum recommended time for a tour of the goal which is a popular tourist site which is deemed to be historically significant. Its inclusion in our tour itenarary is, of course, based on Thomas Wynne's having been imprisoned there. An effort has been made to preserve (restore) the prison to the state it was when it housed Thomas Wynne and others who shared his misfortune. If nothing else, we can gain a better understanding of what Thomas Wynne endured. The home site, on the other hand, is the private residence of a family that hopes to be able to convert it into a bed and breakfast at some point. in the near future. While it will prove interesting to see where Thomas Wynne lived, nothing remains apart from the house. There are no original furnishings that belonged to Thomas Wynne and his family and nothing that can not be seen within the 30 minutes allotted us, not that we all might want to have more time at each stop on the itenarary. Thirty minutes at the cemetery at Bodfari is likely to prove more difficult, hardly enough to hope to find a specific tombstone, assuming such should exist that could be read. All and all, we are fortunate to have the opportunity to see what we can. Hugs, Cousin Linda
