Evans wants to say
Hey everyone,
We're here in Waterford. I would've posted something last night, but apparently everything is closed on Sundays (well, it is a Catholic country). We went up to Ninemilehouse yesterday, and it's quite the lovely little village. We stopped first in a village called Grangemuck, because we weren't sure exactly where Ninemilehouse was, and we thought we were close. Turns out we were. A local told us it was the next village up, about 200 yards away. I'm surprised we didn't miss it, but I'm glad we didn't; we met a really nice lady named Nora in a small pub on the main drag, and Lisa got to hear all about the local history and her family. Today, we toured the Wterford Crystal Facroty, mostly because it was free for us, but that was pretty cool, too. The tour was concise, but very personal and informative, and we learned a lot. The whole process is pretty neat, really, and I recommend the tour, if anyone is interested. Waterford's great; very european and metropolitan. There's a nice shopping area, and Lisa and I found a pub that has live traditional Irish music every night. Finally!! We're headed there later, and I can't wait. We've got loads of pics and video clips, but we left the adapter at the BnB, so we can't uplod anything just yet. The BnB, by the way, is one of the most beautiful little places we've ever seen. It's St. Anthony's on Cork road, and it's right next to the crystal factory. Anyone who wants to stay in Waterford, this is the place. Really excellent. I've got more, but I want to wait until I can put it with pictures, so. . .
Until later, Evans.
