Map of Ireland
We picked up our rental car in the morning at the Dublin Airport and surprise, surprise - it was DOUBLE what we were quoted when the taxes, licenses and fees/insurance was included - scary, but we will make do by cooking more and keeping groceries in the car (as I am writing this in a cafe the guy behind me is freaking out over the phone about how he somehow got 300 Euros tacked onto his car rental out of nowhere - at least we are not alone on that one! Even when we went out to the lot the other renters were all freaking out!)****
Paul if you are reading this - Bjork is playing over the speakers in the cafe right now!****Jill is driving and I am navigating cause it costs even more to add a second driver to the rental - - she is very brave and we had a few 'other side of the road' moments right at the start, but we are doing great now - THANK YOU JILL!! You're awesome!!
We drove through the Wicklow Mountains and Glendalough area (pronounced Glenda Lock not Glenda Loo according to our B&B host-way for us to sound like total morons!) on our way to Kilkenny which was absolutely stunning! We took a ton of pictures and spent sometime just standing outside absorbing it all camera-free. Kilkenny is great-not at all like Dublin - quiet safe streets at night, spacious Hostel in a great location (although with 3 guys and 3 girls in our room-it smelled a lot like feet throughout the night!)

We went to a pub called Kytelers for the night and it is the best pub on Earth - locals and a few tourists, just busy enough to be interesting, live traditional ballads and super comfy armchairs - we could live there. Jill did a stellar job of super-tight parking behind Hostel.
