We get up to rain this morning and decide to just have a lazy morning after the long day yesterday. Around noon we decide to visit Tipperary Town. Tim and I go in search of an Internet cafe and after an hour walking around in the rain and asking several people we find one and I was able to get a couple days worth of post up on this blog since I am several days behind. Harry, Diann, Sloane and Stacy walk around town shopping. We are hoping the rain will stop and when it doesn't we decide to go to Cashel anyway since tomorrow's forecast calls for more and visit the Rock of Cashel. It is a spectacular group of medieval buildings set on an outcrop of limestone including the 12th century round tower, High Cross and Romanesque Chapel, 13th century Gothic cathedral, 15th century Castle and the restored Hall of the Vicars Choral. Even with the light rain that was falling it was a spectacular sight.
Abbey ruins across field from Rock of Cashel
Ruins we pass on way home
We find a nice restaurant in town and have a great meal then back home by 8 pm. Sloane builds us a nice peat fire to enjoy this evening once again.
St Patrick's Cross from the 12th century
