… that the grass was much greener on the other side. Well, if “they” are from America, and were talking about “the other side of the pond” then they were definitely right. “They” always seem to be right, whoever “they” are.
I digress. We took a trip to Cashel this weekend, and my pictures will once again prove “them” right. I’ve never seen grass so green! Cashel is a quaint little town that is home to one of Ireland’s most historical landmarks: the Rock of Cashel. It’s this giant fortress-turned-cathedral that sits on top of a huge hill. It’s absolutely gargantuan and completely breathtaking.
I went on this trip with a few fellow friars and we found, to our immense pleasure, that Cashel happens to be THE Friartown. Apparently the Friars were a huge part of this town’s history. We stumbled across the original friary of the man himself, St. Dominic. There were also street names, buildings, and statues all having something to do with friars. So cool.
This upcoming weekend we’re taking a trip to see what Cork has to offer us. Whatever it is, I bet it’s green and involves Guinness.
Next stop, the Blarney Stone!
Side note: Coldplay happens to be incredible traveling music. If you’re ever zipping through the country side, city side, left side, right side … try plugging in to some Coldplay. They’ve been the background music to all of my Irish adventures so far, and have definitely added to the experience. I’m convinced that they’re actually musical gods of some sort.
