We are back from our escapades to Ireland and Paris but I will have to write about them separately since there is so much to tell. We flew into Cork on the 20th and decided to kick off the trip with a visit to the Blarney Castle. The Castle was really cool, and we got to hang upside down and kiss the Blarney stone. The town of Cork is situated around a canal so walking around town was very scenic with the water always around you. We decided to only stay there one night though so that we could see more of Ireland but before leaving on the 21st we made a trip to a town near by to take a tour of the Whiskey distillery. Our next stop was Galway which is on the Western side of Ireland right along the water. We arrived late and left fairly early the next morning since our hostel was anything but inviting. Before heading to Dublin, our final stop in Ireland, we took a bus out to the Cliffs of Moher which was in the running to be one of the wonders of the world. We probably would have been eliminated from the amazing race at this point of our journey since we got off the bus at the wrong stop! We were far from the cliffs and soon to miss the only bus back into town so we hailed a cab and ran the cliffs in a panic in order to make it back on the right! After having seen the beautiful Country side of Ireland we were regretful to be in Dublin. The big cities are never as nice as the little towns so we found it hard to adjust to the dirty loud atmosphere of the city. We made the best of it though by visiting the Guinness storehouse and becoming certified Guinness bartenders. On our last night in Ireland we spent it as true Irish people would, drinking beer and watching Irish dancing! It was so good, we could not believe how fast there feet were able to move! Next stop Paris!!
