May 27, 2009 Grove Farm, Inistigoe, Kilkenny

Today we went into Kilkenny City and saw Kilkenny Castle. They wouldn't let us take ANY pictures, which greatly depreciated our love of the castle. Then we wandered around the city, bought some Irish flags at the €2 store, and Cat bought a hat that said "I'm Irish today, but tomorrow I'll be hungover". Granpa still has no voice.
We hit up a McDonald's for lunch and came back to the house and slept. We went into Inistioge for dinner but EVERYTHING was closed. I asked a group of boys about Hurling and they were very eager to explain it to me. I still don't really understand it.
We got sandwhiches and fermented apple drink and had a picnic by the RIver Nor. Then Cat and I ran around the two Catherdrals in town and took pictures.

I miss internet.
And real roads.
And internet.
And Cody.

I love Irish icecream - it's creamier than American icecream, and not as sweet. I actually love everything I've eaten here. :)
