Kissing the Blarney Stone

I will come back and fill this in eventually. I am still traveling so I will just post the pics and some basics. Click on this picture to read about the Blarney Stone.

Up top at the Blarney Stone... note the person on her back kissing it.

A view from the top.

Cork, Ireland St Patrick's

I have returned from my jaunt to Ireland for St Pattys and feel the better man for it. Granted, I am uncertain of my exact Irish lineage but the people there seem enough like me for it to be close.



Here is the hostel I stayed at in Cork from the outside. Notice that the entire downstairs is a bar.... not a coincidence.

When in Ireland try to hang out with the Irish.... when you wake up with a picture like this on your camera you know it was a good night.

Hope everyone had an epic St Pattys

Gone to Cork for St Pattys

I am heading to the airport now and should be back from my St. Patrick's adventure in a couple of days. There will be no posts during this time because my laptop will be sitting this one out. Check back on Thursday or so for pictures of chaos and hopefully the Blarney Stone.

St Patty's in CORK IRELAND

In an attempt to do some traveling I have booked a flight and accomodations to Cork, Ireland for St. Patrick's day. I am booked for a two night trip that will be arriving in Cork on the 17th and will become immediately blurred after that. With any luck I will make it up to kiss the Blarney Stone and receive the "gift of gab"

While there I will be staying at the Bru Bar and Hostel

It should be fun.



I would stay longer, but I am already booked to fly to France on the 20th for some snowboarding at Mont Blanc. I am roughing it.
