Morning In Ireland

This was a common sight around Ireland — the rows of empty kegs awaiting pickup outside a pub.

Kilkenny, Ireland

This was one of many such assemblages spotted during a morning walk around Kilkenny on a Monday morning. We all had a laugh as we had been listening to a street party that lasted until 2AM outside our hotel. Most of the pubs in Ireland close around 11:00PM, but they don't let that stand in the way of a good time, the streets stay "open" much later. We also learned that many businesses have late opening hours on Monday. Just one more thing to love about the Irish!
