First night's stay

We stayed at Twin Oaks B&B (http://www.twinoakslimerick.com/) on our first night in Ireland. The breakfast was delicious albeit cholesterol-laden (eggs, toast, bacon (which is like American ham), white pudding, black pudding (don't ask), and coffee/tea). The shower, like many over here, was like having someone pour water from a watering can. It was not unexpected. Here are two things to look out for in a place: a skylight in the bedroom (especially when sunset is after 9:30 pm and sunrise is at 5:30 am) and neighbors who are out drinking and yelling (Irish cussing uses the same words as American, BTW) until sometime after 2:30 am. 

We are off to Cashel and Cork today via the back roads.  Cody is doing his Sean Connery impressions about going to see "a cashel in Cashel." It's gonna be a long day.
