The White House Kinsale

... the colors were. The bus ride was about an hour but it could have gone all day for all I cared. The small town of Dingle is based at the bottom of the mountains and is surrounded by beautiful blue waters and bright colored houses. The first day I just walked and walked soaking up everything I could. I also learned how stupid I was for not breaking in my hiking boots. The next morning I woke up early and went and took pictures of the quiet town at sunrise. Absolutely amazing. I took ...

So my weekend in Cork was so much fun! I got up early on Saturday morning and went to the bus stop. From there we drove to the Blarney Castle, which was amazing! Everyone that comes to Ireland should definitely make a stop at the Blarney Castle. We were there for a few hours and we went in the castle first and I tried to kiss the stone, but I was really scared and couldn't really reach it. I'm a little disappointed, but oh well, I made the ...

... convinced that Galway is the most beautiful city I've ever seen. The next morning I left for Cork, Ireland which so far has proved to be a dissapointment. I'm going to explore the city a little bit today but I look forward to leaving tomorrow because it's quite shady. I'm still debating whether or not I'm going to leave Ireland tomorrow. Theres just so much I didn't get to see. I'll keep you all updated.

Love,

Probably one of the best known things in Ireland.

The Blarney Stone is at the top of the castle. You have to sit down and bend over backwards to kiss the stone below you. I made sure I went further down than then other people up there. I guess one advantage of being tall. Don't think I caught anything from the experience.

Also walked around the grounds and saw the house they live in now.

... for. In a sense, we have entered a world that promotes growth, financial progress, & development on a planet that has been underestimated for its demise. We're living in a time where resources are becoming scarce and our population is catching up with our lack of sustainable infrastructure. Permaculture is an answer to sustainability.   Author, Richard Heighnberg said, "For the last couple of centuries we've been doing ...

Sorry about not updating yesterday, but I was extremely tired from the flight (Dublin to Cork), not to mention that my foot was hurting so bad yesterday, I wanted to scream. I managed to get myself lost in Cork City because I was laboring under the delusion that Cork was a village and therefore easy to maneuver. Man was I wrong! It's the second largest city in the Republic of Ireland! Oh well, I managed to find my ...

... pas laisser mes choses là, entre autres ma caméra et mon laptop... Je vais retourner voir Sharon demain pour arranger le problème. Oh, en passant, mon extinction de voix m'a forcée à changer mes plans pour la soirée (c'est-à-dire que je n'ai pas appelé chez mon namoureux). Bon, je crois que vous avez saisi l'essentiel de ma journée (J'AI UNE NOUVELLE CHAMBRE!) alors sur ce je vais me mettre au lit. Salut! p.s.: il n'y a pour l'instant qu'un seul lit dans ma nouvelle ...

As night doesn't actually fall until about 10pm here we have plenty of time to look for overnight stops. We arrived at Kinsale with no room at any inn so we travelled along the coast to a great looking spot near a dairy farm. Lou checked with Shielagh and Dennis if it would be OK for us to overnight ...

... crumbling. We walked a little too far out and had to catch the later bus to Blarney. In the meantime we checked out the Crawford Museum and then caught the bus. It was still raining a bit, so after a short walk and climb we were at the top and there was no line to kiss the Blarney Stone. Leaning back and kissing a slippery stone, Becky and I both have the gift of eloquent speech. The castle was really amazing to explore with lots of small rooms that you could wander around in ...
