Today we went and all got to kiss the Blarney Stone. So we will all be eloquent speakers I guess when we get home! It is a total tourist trap, but pretty neat at the same time. Beautiful castle. You have to walk up a lot of steep narrow stairs, which culminates with you being on top of a very high castle! I was scared out of my mind. Then you lean back over a big hole and kiss the back wall.
Afterwards we walked around the grounds and then went to the very large gift shop there. We contributed greatly to the Irish economy. Next we went into Cork City again and bought Gavin a hurling stick and Cork football jersey. Some of us also got another chance to walk through the wonderful English Market. Later, we went back to the O'Neills and Gavin played hurling with Tommy and JW.
For dinner we went to a great local restaurant and had a fabulous meal. Some of Ann's family came as well so we all got to have a drink.
Tomorrow is our last day with the O'Neills which just seems impossible. The boys are golfing with Eammon at his local club and then we are all heading to Clonakilty or Kinsale for the beach and some shopping. On Thursday we will be heading to Limerick for an overnight stay and will visit Bunratty Castle as well. Friday we are headed back to Kansas!
