Testing...

 As frustrating as this app is to use - I still like it better than the other 4 I've tested over the last two days... Sorry to the friends I've texted for my travel app craziness!

Here's a cute photo of our new dog Henry to make it up to you!

Ireland - Saturday 5/27 - Part 1

​We left Madrid this morning and flew to Ireland. Immediately got in our rental car and drove south to the Kilkenny area. We’re staying in a charming farm house - LawcusFarm Guesthouse  (That’s Bruce) We walked into the town of Kells and stopped to explore the Kells Priory. A monastery from 1193. To get to it we first had to walk through a field of grazing sheep. At the top of the towers you can see the “covered balcony” where they dropped boiling oil on invaders while remaining hidden. It was really cool - And had a great audio tour.

​ Then we continued our walk to the town and stopped at the local pub for a pint and the Hurling grand final on TV. Munster won!! (Very exciting - This seemed to be who the crowd in the pub wanted.) We ate dinner in town in a lovely old mill turned into a restaurant.  It’s light late here - until after 10pm - so we had a beautiful sunset walk back through the priory.

Ireland - Sunday 5/28 - Part 2

​While we were in Inistioge we had to stop to take this photo of a random horse standing by the river. It looked kinda magical. Then we made our way to Kilkenny and toured the Kilkenny Castle… Built in 1260 the interiors are well restored. The picture gallery was particularly grand. With fascinating ceilings. Leaving the castle Mike needed to use the restroom but it was closed for cleaning so he used the one marked with a man holding a cane (lots of references to “age friendly” accommodations). Since he often refers to himself as “grandpa” this seemed just fine. After the castle we wandered around town and, not surprisingly, ended up at a pub. Golf was on TV which seemed appropriate. After dinner (at a restaurant called Zuni) we headed back to Stoneyford for an award-winning pour of Guinness at Malzard’s pub. It really does taste better here.
