If you are a person who takes tours that cover three countries in a week, you likely would have missed this house in Kilkenny, Ireland. For one thing, it is on a side street and secondly you would need to have walked by, stopped, and noticed the two kinds of ivy (?) growing on the walls. It is very well kept and tidy. It appears to me that they bought a car to match the color of their home. I like the red door. I found it very interesting.
We recommend moving less and seeing more. It is true that we have the luxury of spending three weeks in a smaller country and can move slower, but in three weeks or a month some folks would cover the whole of Europe and not know what they have seen.
Kilkenny is a town where you could easily stay a week or two and get to know it. We spent a whole afternoon in a wine bar eating small "bites" and watching a parade go by. We do not have the folks we met there on our Christmas card list, but we bonded for four hours getting to know them and their community. A suggestion: stick with Irish beer. Their selection of wine - mostly South African - is limited.
