Today, we walked our fannies off out and about Kilkenny. We walked throught the ruins of what had been the Jerpoint Abbey. Fortunately we coule climb the stairs because the view of the country side were quite nice. We also stopped at St Canice's Cathedral but did not climb the watch tower. It required youth and stamina. We had the promise of lunch.
And then their was Kilkenny Castle which was built in 1195. I am always stunned when I consider the age of these beautiful buildings in all of Europe. How they were ever constructed, considering the tools they had then and that they remain in existance.
