Today we woke up early and hit the road :) The long, skinny, winding road...it was basically a cow path.
We stopped at Glendalaugh for breakfast and to site see. This is by far one of my favorite places. It's a beautiful valley and is full of green grass, rivers, and waterfalls. We walked around a Monastic site and a lake. I have never breathed fresher air before! We took some great photos but they are on the other camera...I'll upload to Facebook! Here's one from the digital camera:
It looks a little fuzzy but that's just the rain
We hopped back in our mini bus and drove into Killkenny. We got a little thirsty!
Don't judge our appearances. It was a long, rainy day!
Next we drove into Waterford. We checked into our first B&B of the trip. Ilene was our hostess and it was wonderful! We went down town for dinner where Kurt had his very first fish and chips. It was an entire deep fried fish! After dinner, we ducked into an old pub to pound some Guinness and Bulmers (for me). **Bulmers is an Irish cider similar to Woodchuck's....it gets the job done, know what I'm sayin** The pub looked like every pub in Ireland - cobblestone floor, lots of wood, fireplace, Irish music playing, and lots of drunk men singing very loud. We loved it! This particular pub reminded me of the St. Paul Tavern (hollaaa!) because there were dollar bills everywhere. People had signed them and stuck them all along the rafters. We'll have to check to see if ours still hanging in a few years...
