in Dinn Ri
This morning I woke up with the intentions of running out into the country and found the road too narrow for me to run on. As soon as you leave the urban area the sidewalk ends and there are no shoulders and thick grass that makes it impossible to walk on.

Around 2 we walked to a large bar called Dinn Ri where we watched a Hurling game, Waterford vs Kilkenny. I've never seen that sport before and it was probably the most intense sport I have ever seen! They never stop running and it seemed like the goal was to knock the other players out. They had to play incredibly rough and a person got hurt every couple of minutes. We ended up leaving at half time.

Kaley and I decided we really really wanted to try to find a way to walk on the country hills so we walked clear across town towards the hills. At the edge of town though, again we couldn't walk along the road because it was so narrow. We did have a couple of good adventures through a field and seeing old Irish houses!
