Killarney
Very cool national park.
We stopped at Ross Castle, and Aarti and I were attacked by a really happy dog. There were ducks around the creek, and the dog was having a great time scattering them. We spent a couple hours and did a walk around Muckross Lake, which had some pretty spectacular views. It would have been nice if we could have done the ring of Kerry, but there was no time. Its pretty famous, but apparently it would have taken us about five hours to do.
Blarney
Blarney castle was really cool. Aarti and I kissed the Blarney Stone, which is supposed to give you the gift of the gab. I don’t really feel any more well spoken, but maybe it takes a while to work. There’s also some pretty cool caves around the castle that used to have some secret passageways.
Cork
Cork is the food capital of Ireland, so we spent a night out wandering the city streets. After some food, we went out for some traditional Irish music and a couple beers. Good times.
