Finally arrived in Dublin at 6:30 am this morning (12:30 am home time). Spent a few hours in the airport people watching until we could meet our group and head out. First stop, Irish National Stud (think Churchill Downs), Kidlare Ireland. Second stop - St. Brigid's Cathedral. Lunch at our first Irish Pub - Flannigan's and then rode about 1 1/2 hours to Kilkenny. Ken and I both slept on the bus so arrived somewhat refreshed and craving a shower. We've now taken a stroll (after showering of course) about the area around our hotel (The Hiberian) and will be going to dinner shortly. Yipee, our phone works and have been able to make contact via text with the family. I have the window open as I'm writing this (no AC but should not be needed). We can hear a band playing at one of the close pubs. If you're thinking traditional Irish music, think again - they're playing Green Day for crying out loud! A few pictures to whet your appetite.
