Learning to See Things in Black and White

Today we went to Kilkenny. It's a great little town that's filled with history. Strong bow - first norman to come to Ireland, and more or less was the one who started the whole English occupation of the island - set up a for there in the 12th century. The castle that is there now is beautiful. It's been around for the last 800 years! William and Mary stayed there after the Battle of The Boyne in the 15th century when Protestant side of the English crown gained control of the island.  

Then we walked down and got some lunch - all day FULL Irish Breakfast! Full is the key word there. That's right ladies and gents I ate black and white pudding. They weren't all that bad, but I must say I won't be having it again. 

Then we went to the top of this 11th century tower that we had to climb ladders to the top of. Went to go hear some Irish music at a place that one of the girls we were with had been to before. It was too early for Music but one of the guys who worked there was in the band she saw last time. So that was cool. 

Tomorrow we're going on a bus tour of Powers Court, Glendalough and a few other places. I'll write more about those tomorrow. Also there's the possibility of Karaoke! 

Thats it for now, good night
