Day 2


We woke up this morning to a beautiful Irish day. The sky was clear, sun shining and the temperature was great (in the 60s). We had our first Irish breakfast of eggs, bacon (not the baby strips we think of as bacon) and sausage. There was also a selection of cereals, yogurt, fruits, toast, jelly, honey, etc. Amazing and I didn't think I would need to eat for the rest of the day. After breakfast Ken and I strolled around Kilkenny and checked out a few of the shops. We also walked the grounds of Kilkenny Castle.

This afternoon we boarded the bus for the Rock of Cashel and Cahir Castle. Both sites were amazing experiences I'll have to take more time to go into detail about later. We returned to Kilkenny for another wonderful dinner (okay, I ate again but I really don't think I'll need to eat tomorrow now!) and spent some time in the hotel just hanging out with some of the members of the group. We've decided to call it an early night though. A slow, steady rain has been coming down since we got back to the hotel which should make for great sleeping tonight.

Tomorrow we're off to Wexford.
