Castles, Crystal, and a Pillow

We started our driving adventure today. My assigned job is the official navigator. Pretty much I look for signs, read the map, and make sure my mom stays on the left side of the road. Today we saw a castle full of Victorian history and the Waterford Crystal factory, whose crystal has adorned houses for centuries now.



This is the Kilkenny Castle

This is a replica of the crystal ball that drops in NYC on New Years Eve, which is made with Waterford Crystal.


This is the quaint little B&B where we are laying our heads for the night.



An old monastery tower where the monks would take refuge when danger struck. It has a very tiny window at the top. What a view!

Did you climb the tower? Did you take a pic up there? Succumbed to the tourist shops yet? Have a meat pie for me!
