Castles and buses (which should have 2 "s"es- and it apparently can, I looked it up- but it looks funny like that)

Here's my crazy English roommates from the hostel in Dublin- Ben, Dave, Jamie, Tom (who's a musician- can you guess which one he is? He gave me a cd of his too, which I'm excited to listen to when I find a cd player), and Rich.


Here's the beautiful map of Ireland that I drew, with my proposed path...

Yeah, I'm now in a little town called Kilkenny. Took the bus here from Dublin yesterday afternoon (I accidentally slept nearly the whole 2 1/2 hours though), met my new hostel roommates and hung out with them for a bit.
Here's 2 of them and I- German guys named Florian and Philip. The other 2 in the room were 2 young guys from France.

And then I got to hang out with my friend Yvonne (who lives in Holland ((MI)) but she's Irish and was visiting her family who live here in Kilkenny) for a bit. She toured me around the city for a while and showed me some of the highlights.
Kilkenny castle- built in 1100 somethingish.

And soon I hop on a bus again to travel to the next place, Cork.
