Ireland's Castles

     We were driving a big circle around Ireland from Dublin to Dublin and found many castles and manor houses. The history of California, where I live, begins with the missions and then with 1849 and the Gold Rush. Ireland's history is far older. 

     The castles often come as a surprise as you turn a corner.  Some we planned on seeing. Some just happened upon us. I realize that many folks are not interested in too many huge stone buildings, but I am. Of note are Kilkenny, Cahir, and Trim.
