Week 13
... Today mom and I woke up early and I got to show her around the English Market (which might have been her favorite part of the whole trip haha!) We took a bus tour down to the cute old fishermen’s town called Kinsale. After that we headed off to Blarney Castle where I got to kiss the Blarney stone and have received the gift of eloquent speech.

The Boatmen of Kinsale
... the day exploring, brousing and shopping with a break here and there for a half pint of guinness. It really has been nice.
