                    <description>Wednesday October 13  It was great to have a down day in Kinsale.  We slept in ate a late breakfast at our BB and started off for a hike through this seaside village.  We walked up to the Carmelite Friary then down to the Desmond Castle.

                    <description>It is really Day 3 as I write this but we got in so late last night that we did not have the energy to work on it.

                    <description>Saturday October 9  We had another very lazy morning.  Either the trip is catching up with us or we're really beginning to feel like we're on vacation.  We had hoped to be out and about by 900 am but that's when we woke up.  We took our time getting ready and headed out about 1100.  It was a beautiful day so we dressed in what we thought was appropriate for the weathermore about that later. </description>

                    <description>Wednesday October 6  We sat in the Balinsheen solarium this morning watching it rain outside the back window but not rain outside the front window.
