On to Dublin!!

We left Killarney this morning and made our first stop at the home and dairy farm of Paddy and Margaret ___. Wow I'm getting forgetful in my old age! It was a nice Irish sounding last name though! But we toured their home and
Margaret served hot drinks (yay coffee!!) scones (which I've unfortunately seemed to develop a taste for) and guinness cake. We then got a tour of the old home on the property (built in the 1600's) and the farmyard courtesy of Paddy. It was nice..smelled just like..a farm!!
We then went to the Rock of Cashel..where St. Patrick preached. There are old monastery and cathedral ruins there now.
Meg and I have developed an intense craving for some gourmet American food..ala mcdonalds..in recent days. The McFlurry's have been calling our names!! Soo..after much deliberation, and consulting with michael, we took off for the local Mickey D's. "a ten minute walk" he said. Eh, not so much. 20 minutes later..as we are wandering out of town, the nice ladies that we asked..smiled sympathetically and informed us "if you go all the way oh there, you will be hungry when you get there and hungry again when you get back!!" mission aborted.
We proceeded on to Dublin then. Tonite we had dinner and a show at an "Irish House Party" which was quite neat. Well, the entertainment was..our fish and chips were a little iffy!! But the music and dancing were great! One guy played the flute, there was a guy playing an instrument that looked kinda like bagpipes but it wasn't, a girl played the accordion and another guy was on the guitar..and it was even a Martin!! It was truly neat to hear their Irish music! But ah..off to bed now!!
