This picture is one of my faves from today. Laurie made us do a jump in front of the castle. She loves her pictures! I'm not sure I will get a video posted tomorrow. We will be having a late night at the Galway horse races. Wish us luck on our bets!

Details
Depart Kinsale this morning and travel north through County Cork. At Blarney, stop to climb to the battlements of Blarney Castle to kiss the famous “Stone of Eloquence.” Also visit the Blarney Woollen Mills, which has an excellent range of Irish products of all types. You will also have time to browse around the village, charmingly set around a large village green. Then journey west through rugged countryside to Killarney, widely celebrated for its setting overlooking lakes and mountains. Upon arrival an old-fashioned horse drawn jaunting car will bring you through the Killarney National Park, which is closed to motorized vehicles. Drive along the shores of Lough Leane to Muckross House, an elegant 19th century mansion set beside the tranquil Muckross Lake. A guided tour around the 19th century manor house will fill you in on some local history and the family ties to the United States. Enjoy the elegant rooms and rich furnishings. Return to Killarney and check into your hotel for dinner and overnight stay.
