Wednesday- on the road to Cork

We stopped in the town of Waterford and visited the 

Waterford Crystal Factory, founded in 1783.

Here we are looking at very expensive stuff!

We also visited an area where we were shown how pieces are made.

The glass is this color while being heated and molded, but then cools clear.

This is the factory's tribute to 911. Two of these were made. The other was
presented to a New York City fire house.

We then traveled to Cahir for lunch. After which we toured Cahir Castle.

We climbed the steps in this building to take the picture above.

During dinner at the hotel, Kim haggled this waitress. BUT, she gave him just as much smack back! Then, she presented them with a plate of desserts for their 42nd anniversary. Happy Anniversary Dee Dee and Kim!
