My daughter & I had the same thought when we first glimpsed the main building at Carlow College, it reminded us of another building from our travels together to the Bardstown Kentucky area. Specifically, the main hall at Nazareth academy where my mom (her Mama Judy) attended high school!
We walked around the town & found the local Aldi store. Made me wonder what was wrong with the one in our town... It had all kinds of stuff in it, including Guinness Beer! We then walked down to the Barrow river where local boat racing was taking place. They were well into the final runs of the weekend competition. This is where I had a rude run in with a poodle. Let's just say this is the poodle that liked to doodle... Not happy with this dog or his owner!
We ate dinner at a pub called "Reddy's" which was quite good. The proprietor of our B&B recommended it as a place for good food without paying through the nose!
The B&B, the Avalon in Carlow, is really superb! The proprietor is friendly & the room is gorgeous! He also has some beautiful gardens surrounding the property.
The window view!
Around the Avalon B&B in Carlow. Though all the places we stayed were really nice, this was by far the nicest place we stayed. The linen smell like Bath & Body Works Sea Island Cotton scent. If Yesenia ends up here for school, I may visit her just to stay here again! Would definately recomend it to others staying in Carlow!
Off to Waterford today - Hopefully I'll get to update tonight.
Some Irish words of wisdom from the sugar bowl at Reddy's:
"Is minic a bhi fear maith i seanbhriste" Good men can often be found wearing worn britches!
Have a good day! Rita
