Ladies and Gents....I give you IRELAND

So, I'm a terrible blogger at the moment and haven't written in a few days.

Sorry friends but I had better things to do.

That being said...I'm sadly behind and it will be hard to catch you up on all I've been doing so bear with me!

I just thought this was funny...apparently I stand out too Elora.

As I said before...I love the trees in this country and I want to take them all home.

The tire incident on day 2.

My mom got a little too close to the curb and POP.

Huge hole and it was pouring rain.

Luckily we had a spare and the nice man down the street changed it for us.

He could not stop laughing at us.

I guess it was pretty funny.

My mom will never live it down

On to Kilkenny town and castle. 

It was amazing on the outside but very renovated on the inside.

The Rock of Cashel.

Kissing the Blarney Stone. Legend has it you get the gift of eloquence if you kiss it. I'm not sure if that will happen, but I leaned backwards 200 feet in the air to kiss it so I hope so! 

more of Blarney Castle

This is Bantry house. Little town on the water and I never wanted to leave. 

I mean who wouldn't want to live in this house?!

Our crazy trip into the middle of nowhere!

We literally drove on roads like this for a few hours.

No one around us ... it was beautiful and a perfect way to see Ireland.

My mom did freak out a bit though because we had no extra tire and no one to help us if we broke down.... it would be a bit difficult to tell road side assistance where we were even if we could get a hold of them!

Muckross house in Killarney National Park.

One set of owners of this house went bankrupt preparing six years for Queen Victoria to visit them for TWO DAYS.

I was dressed in shorts but let me tell you I was freezing!

This was Bunratty. They had a medieval castle and village and we got to tour the whole thing. 

Two awesome things:

1. the castle was decked to the nines in real medieval everything and I could explore the whole thing

2. this little guy was so amazingly fat it was hilarious...he is in a pasture by the church in the village

Cliffs of Moher...once again freezing but it was AMAZING!

Back to Dublin to see Malahide Castle.

Someone lived here until 1975!

Then we flew home!

Best trip ever with my mom...I miss her so much already!

Love,

A

p.s. I'm in INDIA! But I just got here and can't blog yet...too tired!
