 It has been said that most people come to Blarney Castle and kiss the Blarney Stone and then receive the "gift of gab,"  Others come to top off their tanks!!!  When I kissed it, the workers thanked me for "refilling the stone" again! 

It 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 she!  

The view was spectacular from up there, and I highly recommend it to anyone that can make it!

There is also some very neat gardens and other things around the castle that many people don't bother with. Just look at the pictures to see some of the other cool things!
