Kilkenny

We rented a car today and drove down to Kilkenny.  Daughter Karen was going to drive until she found out the only option was stick shift, so her SO Jon got the duty.  There were some moments of stress in the roundabouts, but at least it wasn't my stress.  We are getting further and further away from motorcycle related stuff, but I've had my turn.  Now is the time for castles and gardens.

We did find an interesting pub called the Left Bank.  It was a real bank until the economic crash of 2008, when it was sold and was converted into a pub.  I'm beginning to really like Guinness!

 

 

Note the sunburn.  Not going to add to it in the next few days as Ireland is looking more like we expected.
