Ireland tour day 1
Blarney Castle and Pa

Did you know...
Saint Patrick:
Isn't Irish, he's Scottish
Name wasn't Patrick
He isn't actually a saint.

There are no snakes on Ireland, thanks to Saint Patrick bannishing them, or the land coming from a glacier, whichever.

Blarney Castle has the Blarney Stone, which you kiss and get the gift of the gab. To kiss it, one must climb to the top of the castle through the skinnest, illogically built stairs, hang upside down and whack ones face into the wall.

Later that night saw an interesting show by Pa the local story teller who got drunker and drunker as the night went on. To the point of he kissed my hand and said my hands were out of this world.

With most meals you can choose rice or chips, such as with curries. Its a curry. I want rice. But you know why? Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes.
