Getting the gift of gab

Sorry I didn't have the chance to blog yesterday! As you can see, I've been taking the time to enjoy the tour myself!

Showing my Centenary pride at Cashel.

Yesterday, we headed to Blarney Castle, and just about all of us on the trip kissed the legendary Blarney Stone. We walked up over 100 narrow and windy steps to get to it - what a great experience!

Now we all have the gift of gab and good luck!

After that adventure, we headed to the Woollen Mills, where we picked up souvenirs and gifts for ourselves and loved ones back home. There are three floors to the store, and most of us got our retail fix there.

Then it was off to Dublin we went. On our drive, we passed through Cork and Tipperary, and saw the slopes of the Galtee Mountains and the majestic Rock of Cashel. We topped all of that off with a delicious lunch at Finnegan's Pub!

At the end of a long day, we arrived in Dublin and checked in at the Davenport Hotel, where we rested up for a bit before dinner.



Today, we will tour the city of Dublin with a local guide, who will show us around and tell us about the prominent historic buildings and monuments. Stay tuned!
