Pictures from Waterford

These were taken in Waterford and the ride up to Waterford. They are in backward but I'm too tired to rearrange them! Enjoy.
The interior of Christ Church Cathedral. It is very austere because in order to turn the structure back to the Anglicans they had to agree to remove all the stained glass windows. Only one was left.
The altar area has Wedgwood trimmings.

This fine gentleman's name is Scotty. He sits in the doorway of his master's shop. We had a very nice talk.

St. Savior's Catholic church, across the street from our hotel.

We spent an hour in the Waterford Treasures Museum. Got lots of pictures.

We can't remember the name of this tower. I'll look in my journal and correct it later.

Sailboats moored in the Suir River in Waterford, right in town.

A ship spent the night here, then sailed off about an hour after we took this picture.

A look from the bridge going into Waterford.

The Butler House & Gardens, Kilkenny.

Exploring the gardens at Kilkenny Castle.

A field of rapeseed taken from the bus.

Gate at Cahir Castle.

Inside the courtyard at Cahir Castle.
We have one more day in Dublin and we are all more than tired and ready to come home. We went to church at the Presbyterian Abbey church this morning and enjoyed a meal afterward with the Pastor, his family and a lovely group of young people. It was in the apartment Kate lived in while she was here. We had to climb up four floors to get to it! My hat is off to you, Kate, for climbing those stairs every day! This will be my last post in Ireland. See you soon!

Of course, the Westie photo holds a special charm to me. :-)
