A good day to be a goose! It rained most of the day and had we not had out rain gear, it would have been a mess. But since we stayed dry we were blissfully wandering around Cahir and the associated castle.
Too wet for this goose, he wanted to get into the car
A canoe would have been useful
A mighty and mysterious beastie
A cute little beastie
The goose parade
Our first sight of the castle
This robin was dry under the bridge
Bike rack
A motorcycle on the pub's wall at lunch
Ladies! We stopped off at a butcher shop to get some dinner and these ladies talked to a leprechaun lady in a purple hat
Tractors pulling tractors
The plant waterer
We have sprung a leak
Fantastic furniture tucked away in the pub
Back to the castle
First I will grab Excalibur
A cool carved tree
The girl in the tree
These views of the castle are only available because I walked around the wrong way
Canoe and trailer
Entering via the portcullis
The second line of defense
Right off the bat we found a dry hall
If only the fire had been lit
In the age of cannons, Castles were no longer impenetrable
Tricky stair climbing
Looking out at the rainy street
The church
Better shot with the window open
The weir on the river
Big old beams
Hand made furniture
The town beyond the walls
The pulleys attached to the portcullis
Hang on tight!
This hall had much information about the Irish struggle for independence
Colorful town out there
Laura
back out we go
Most castles were added on over the years and this seems to be where two styles met
Low door on t he left
The siege of the castle
Fantastic ceiling
Cross shaped opening to shoot thine enemies from
Big wooden doors
This cannon ball is still stuck int he wall
One parting shot
