View of a lake on the way out of Kilkenny in the Ireland National Park en route to the hotel
I think this is St. Dominic...we passed a Dominican residence in Kilkenny, but didn't stop.
View of downtown Kilkenny and the residents
This may be the emigrant ship, but it's too dark to determine. Forget this photo. Many of the Irish residents fled Ireland in the 1840's due to the potato famine. The potatoes were rotten and the residents were starving as this was their main food staple. Many came to America to start a new life via emigrant ships which sailed from Bristol and London England. This is how our ancestor Charles Peter King got to America. They really went through a lot to get here to America with the promise of a good future and new life. Had he not come to America, none of us would be here today. Thanks Charles! You are a true hero.
Another view of Kilkenny across the river. The emigrant ship is somewhere here if I can just find it in the photos
Looking across the river in Kilkenny at the various colored houses.
This is a view of a bridge under construction in Kilkenny
Here are Virginia and Judy on the grounds at Kilkenny Castle
This is the castle at Kilkenny....very nice inside. We went all around it in a u-shape tour. It was raining most of the day, but that didn't stop us. We first viewed a video about the castle before going inside on the tour.
