While walking through town, we noticed an old stone tower and church a block away. After a nice breakfast of rasher (similar to Canadian bacon), banger (sausage), and black and white pudding (no idea what it was), we headed toward the church.<\/p>\n<p>What we found was Saint Brigid&#8217;s Cathedral, a beautiful 13th century structure. Behind it was an old cemetery and the <a href=\"http:\/\/roundtowers.org\/kildare\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kildare Round Tower,<\/a> build around the 12th century. The tower can be toured, but it didn&#8217;t open for several hours, so we couldn&#8217;t climb ro the top.<\/p>\n<p>After leaving Kildare, we reached the port town of Dingle a few hours later. I&#8217;ll include more on Dingle in my next update.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"
