... the little Ford Focus hatchback buggy through the exit, with the picketers wailing their arms all over. Had lunch, took a look at Ross Castle, and continued on to Limerick. <br>Heres the story of the day...who stays in HOTELS, not hostels, while they are backpacking? Yes, Im not kidding when I say we accidentally booked, online, a suite. Two separate bedrooms with double beds, huge bathroom and shower, TV room with couches, dining room, kitchen, walk ...

... as to Canada, Argentina and Australia. 3 million left from the early 1800's to 1970. It is also the port from which the Titanic and the Lusitania sailed on theri last vogages. <br><br>We ended up in Kinsale, visited an amazing stone fort there (Charles Fort), had dinner and headed for "home".

... and read and caught up on some much needed sleep. I got to sleep in today and now I really need to take a shower. The hot water is only on for 6 hours each day (from 6am-9am and 5pm-8pm) so I need to get in the habit of taking showers during those times. They are all about energy conservation and recycling and everything that's good for the environment here. Well I'm going to go take a shower and then do some grocery shopping. Enjoy your weekend!!

... car would come up and we'd have to maneuver around each other, but it was wonderful. That night, Louise, Louise's brother Cian, and her friend Andrea took us out and we had such great conversation with them we felt like old friends. They filled us in on being Irish and told us about all their travels in America (they've seen more of the States than we have!). Today we said goodbye to Louise and are ...

We did a bit of shopping and walked around the town in the afternoon light taking photos and discovering little graveyards and churches.
