Kilkenny Part 2

[cuseoirelandadventures]

Day Three: St. Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny On our way over to St. Canice's Cathedral we walked through the Butter Slip, a narrow little lane built in 1616 where butter vendors set up their stalls. It looked like something right out of Harry Potter. Then we came to St. Canice’s Catherdral, which sat on the top of a hill over looking Kilkenny.  It had beautiful stained glass and vaulted ceilings, as well as carved statues and tombs.  Interestingly, the cathedral is the resting place of President Obama’s six-generation granduncle, Bishop John Kearney.
