Kissed the Blarney Stone & explored town of Cobh

the lovely gard
... last long in our home, I'm hoping these do. Then we're off to Blarney. Thanks to the Blarney Gard who helped us find our accomodation. In Ireland there are no street numbers and in many cases, no street signs. Makes it a real challenge ...
Blarney 101
... Castle, only a fairytale place from far away Canada. We often wondered if the place really existed. It does! And I kissed the Blarney Stone. Dorothy decided to skip the experience and took a picture of me being held firmly upside down by a kind old Irish ...
I "topped off the tanks" for them at Blarney!
... was well worth the 153 stairs you need to climb to get to the top of the castle wall and lay on your back and kiss the Blarney Stone! It was a shame that Audie's knee wouldn't allow her the climb, but then she's not a Blarney kind of woman, is ...
