Kells Priory and Kilkenny

It was a long drive (for Ireland) to reach Kells Priory, the old ruins where the book of Kells was located before it was moved to Trinity College in Dublin by the monks. The ruins now are mostly occupied by tourists and sheep. Unfortunately there was no parking available for anything taller than a car so we took what photos we could before heading on to Kilkenny. I should mention that the sheep were being herded over to an adjacent field by a guy in a truck and a guy on a Gator. Julie thought it was ridiculous. By the time we arrived at Tree Grove Caravan & Camping Park it was well past four. The castle closed at five and since that was the only site in town besides a church, we had a break and had dinner. We ventured out tonight in hopes of finding a bar with some Irish music on. We were told that it was a sure bet to find a bar, but when we started our search at 9:30, all was quiet. We picked a nice looking pub and had a few pints before heading out only to discover a pub a few doors down playing lively Irish music. It’s unfortunate that we didn’t find this pub first. I wanted some food so we stopped by a fast food place called Supermacs and I had myself one of their signature burgers (think Big Mac with ketchup and no cheese).
