British Isles #15 -- IRELAND

Picked  up  a  rental  car  & drove to  Kilkenny  today  (  population  around  11,000  ).  A classic  Medieval  city  with  a  lovely  castle  and  a  wall  all  around  the  town.  And lots of SHOPPING! There's all the stores we are  familiar  with + plenty  of  high  end  specialty  shops.  We had a nice walk around town  and through the castle park trails, and had a pint and a bite at a locals' pub -- I finally  had 'bangers  and  mash'.
