When In Ireland...
Hi all,
Well, today seems to be a kind of day of rest...Sunday's there isn't much open, and not much going on, so we walked around the town for a while, looked at a few things, such as some 13th century stone coffins by the Black Abbey, and a few more cathedrals (they have more than you can shake a stickat!!!) tooks some more photos of the Castle (I amwalking around with another Aussie and a Canadian).
We think we might actually get out the playing cards later and see how the tempers can rise!Went out to the pub on Friday and heard some more Irish music, but the smoky pubs are really getting to me now...would much rather do without the smoke and itseems like nearly every one smokes here in Ireland!!!
Spent yesterday reading and shopping...seem to be collecting Irish silver rings on my fingers...they are so nice and very cheap though! Last night was another round in the Sitting room with another bunch of worldtravellers...still more Aussies and Saffies(SouthAfricans) than anything! But also so many stories to tell, last night we had a fellow from France, Spain,Belgium, a couple of Swedish gals, two Aussies and one Saffie, and then two of us Canadians. Lots of chatter! All in front of the beautiful turf fire.
Managed to get sick AGAIN with a nasty cold so have decided to stay here in Kilkenny until Tuesday when I leave for Limerick...fly out from Shannon the following day to London and then out from London the next day to HOME! I've been in Kilkenny since last Tuesday and it's very nice here, the people are so friendly and hate to give up a good hostel! I'm having a blast and love Ireland but I am ready tobe at home again...miss that kid of mine, and would much rather be sick in my own house than in a hostel, then I'm not keeping anyone up with my hacking and coughing.
Tomorrow me and the Canadian are hitching down to a nearby town to do a little poking around. The locals tell us that as long as we identify ourselves on a cardboard sign as Canadians and where we're going, it should be ok, so we'll do that. It's just a day trip, so we hope to get down and back again in the sameday!!!
Well, looks like the others are wrapping up their surfing and e-mailing, so I should move along. Will probably send one more note from Limerick before I return and then should have some photos up on my little photo barn website by next week sometime, depending on how sick I am!
Cheers!
