Felicia....I kissed that 'rock thingy' today.
Today I kissed the Blarney Stone. The first two pictures are of me kissing the stone. The last picture is of Blarney Castle. I nearly fell climbing, what felt like, miles of stairs to get to the top.
To break up the 4 hour drive we had to get to Blarney, we stopped at another castle (this is the third picture in). I have come to a very important conclusion this trip: there are WAY TOO MANY castles in Ireland. Each castle is unique and mystical in its own way and I really appreciate the architecture in each one, but there are just sooooooo many.

On another fantastic note: I bought Waterford crystal today. I now am going to need a third job when I come home (oops). The sale lady did a fantastic job selling me "exclusive" Ireland pieces. Apparently the pieces that I bought are only sold in Ireland (yeah right.....). I am going to believe her, however, to help me rationalize the money I spent. I bought four beautiful white wine glasses. The design, which I just researched, is supposed to be Celtic. Although I did not know this at the time, it is actually why I bought them. Because I am sure nobody cares about my purchase, I will stop this conversation before anyone falls asleep at their computer.
(p.s. Mom and Dad, look for the package in the mail. When you receive them, treat them like your babies. Put them high up so the dogs don't eat them....you never know.....its possible with my dog)
