At Jerpoint Abbey, County Kilkenny, Ireland

I love this shot of Doug as he was carrying Caelan through the cloister at Jerpoint Abbey. They were wandering through looking at carvings when Doug caught me taking pictures as they appeared in an archway.

Irish historians say a very famous saint is buried near Jerpoint Abbey. See who it is in my visiting Jerpoint Abbey post.
