40 Days, 40 Churches

Day 23: St. Brigid's Cathedral, Kildare, Co. Kildare, Ireland

Just before our wedding we became godparents to my niece Bridget, so it made some sense that as we drove to Dublin we'd stop here and get her something. Turns out that would have been hard to do in the church itself, as it was closed. We did poke around the grounds a little, but wound up buying our Brigid-related material (two St. Brigid crosses, one for her and one for my aunt) across the street at the tourist information office. There's a metaphor for something here, but I can't quite grasp it.

It was on this drive that we also saw a bar called Tipsy McStagger's, which was apparently in Ennis. Always appreciate a Simpsons reference, especially that far from home.
