Killarney

Today we left Dublin and headed west across the island toward Killarney. We stopped in at a working sheep farm, ate scones and tea, and watched an awesome boarder collie work an entire field of sheep like he owned them. Next, we continued our journey toward the western side of Ireland and came across the Rock of Cashel. This is a huge piece of rock in the middle of nowhere with a castle on top. I should say a castle ruin.

We stopped at Blarney Castle and yes, kissed the blarney stone. The trip up to the top of the castle was very scary and very high. Finally, we arrived at Killarney and checked into our fabulous hotel and feasted.
