We've spent the last three nights in Killkenny soaking up the area. We stayed in a castle that has been converted to a hostel. Great ambiance! Monday we did the tourist thing in Killkenny and visited the Killkenny Castle which has been renovated and restored. It's a beautiful image of what the castles looked like 200 years ago. Rooms have been restored to period and great care has been taken with the details. We also visited the St. Canice Cathedral and climbed the ladders up to the top of the tower. Then we strolled through town stopping by the Black Abbey and wandering around the downtown area. Tuesday was a down day. We spent the day at the hostel/castle, took a walk through the country and relaxed- as is necessary in all travels! It's been a great couple days and a wonderful tour of Ireland . Tonight we will finish it off with a date to go to dinner and see Riverdance in Dublin. Tomorrow we fly to Manchester- England that is. We'll spend the weekend with friends then move on to Scotland.

Emrys - what a great poem and how lovely a description of the island Inis Mor. You both are making this adventure so real for us who read it. Thanks Sara for the thrill of letting us know you were going to see Riverdance. I bet it was wonderful and in Dublin of all places. What an experience. We have the tape and have seen them on TV and loved it all - to see it in person must be something else. Continue to enjoy and blessings to you both and Hugs, Diane and Tom Hunter
