Day 3 in Ireland was a churchish kinda of day
We started our day at the
Rock of Cashel
It has undergone multiple uses over its history
but it was lastly an Abby or a Church
something religious
since it has a graveyard
Anyways this place like all of the other attractions we went to in Ireland
was cash only
seriously it is 2012
no one carries cash anymore
and when you leave in 2 days you don't want to have to pull out more money
Anyways I honestly don't remember too many cool facts about this place
except that they said it got cold a lot
Nathan being the structural engineer was more interested in how the church was built
rather than what it was used for
We were bummed that none of the places we visited on our entire trip offered the structural plans as souvenirs
I find it was hard to buy souvenirs because they are all dust collecting nick-knacks
I enjoyed the carvings on some of the tombs and the old cemetery
For some reason I think it's cool to look around these old graveyards
some of the markers were actually pretty recent
There was an old ruin in view from the cemetery at the Rock of Cashel
Our next stop was Jerpoint Abby
But not before we got lost
and took a 10 min break to figure out how to navigate our way to the Abby
It has some pretty old carvings
and some of the carvings you could tell what it was displaying
In the picture above, there used to be carvings on each side of the pillars
The carving above is to show the sin of gluttony
Most of the Abby was destroyed
but it was still interesting to look around
this place also was cash only
luckily I think it was only a eurro each
because I believe at this point we were down to less than 10 eurro in cash left
We found a cool train bridge for Nathan since 5 years ago he took advance bridge design while studying abroad in England
Wow 5 years ago Nathan and I were dating
crazy!
We ended our day by driving to Dublin
