What a cute little town! Stayed at a nice place on the river right in the middle of everything. Checked in yesterday and started walking around. We ended up at Waterford crystal - ya know - to check out the retail store before our tour today. It was glorious - so many beautiful things to see -

So we woke up and off we went to our tour of the Waterford factory. The tour was amazing. The explanations and show and tell we’re top notch.
Did you know that Waterford crystal shut down - dissolved - went kaput in 1851. Something about a famine. And it stayed closed until someone revived it in 1951 - that’s right no Waterford crystal for 100 years.
Another tidbit is there is a US flag flying out front because the US is the largest customer. We buy more crystal than anyone else!
The other videos are too long to post
After this amazing experience we wandered over to the Silver museum.
