Welcome to Killarney

In Killarney we had free time to just walk around the city, see the sights and get some dinner in a local pub.  The next day we when a little ways out of town to Muckross House and Gardens.  It was a typical example of a rich person’s estate from the 1800’s.  It is extremely well preserved now as a museum.  They had folks inside talking about the roles each member of the household . Unfortunately we could not take pictures inside
