Hmmmm. Maybe if I try this Bank it'll work

A parting shot of Kilkenny. We had dinner at Kyteler's Inn where I enjoyed a glass of Smithwick's which is made in Kilkenny. It was the only brew I imbibed in the whole trip

The next day we braved the Ring of Kerry

We checked out the Staigue ring fort

There were some great views at the top of the wall

The wall was higher in some places

The first telegraph that connected information from America to Europe came in here

We had to wait a while to get this shot. The Skellig islands are in the background

I'll never forget the ride we took up the one lane road that offered us this view

We went to Skelligs Chocolate Co. after we made it over the single lane 50 degree road to celebrate surviving the drive

The picture of the Skelligs Chocolate Co.sign was one of my favorites

A view of the Skelligs

The next two photographs are of the same view with different camera settings

I wish I could remember how I did that

We visited Sneem where we met Steve (Crusher) Casey

Crusher was famous back in the day when wrestling was an actual sport. My father tells me he was well known and loved in Boston

Sneem was an excellent stop at the end of our busy day. We bought salt and pepper shakers which we are currently using at Quill's and enjoyed an ice cream.

Next we went to Kenmare. They also had a Quill's store

We were searching for food and we felt like we were close

We walked up and down the main street of Kenmare

And we ended up back at The Horseshoe Pub

This is the other main street in Kenmare

I think the Quill's in Kenmare was bigger

Kenmare was a fine looking town
