Well, we are now in Nenagh where we will all gather tomorrow for the Kennedy re-union. We left Killarney after breakfast. Assumed, being Good Friday, it would be very quiet everywhere but we were amazed to find all the shops open as usual and people doing what they do every other day of the year. Drove to Limerick where we stopped for a sandwich and it was almost impossible to get a car park. The only restriction for trade on Good Friday is in hotels and bars. Nenagh, on the other hand, was somewhat different and only a few shops open - it seems to vary from county to county.
We are staying at Abbey Court Hotel and Spa, a huge place that also has cottages for rent. Went to the dining room for dinner and found a table of Kennedys from Australia. Was really nice to catch up with Brian & Erica & Robert & Kaye from Adelaide & Lawrence & Phillip from Mt Gambier. Also met Will from Seattle & Jenny from Adelaide. Jacinta is driving down from Dublin with Mary Kennedy and will arrive late tonight.
