Into each life some rain must fall...

Alll day, with no respite. Made touring very difficult, and most disappointing for the much anticipated Rock of Cashel, which is such an impressive site, but, alas, the rain kept us from the full experience.

We also skipped our planned Cahir Castle tour, but did tour the Swiss Cottage which the owners of Cahir Castle had built to enjoy simpler life (think Marie Antoinette's hamlet at Versailles).

Blessed more than I deserve and am glad I've seen Ireland (and we conquered the driving!)
NYC, here we come!!!
