Land of Legends, Myths, Faeries and SHEEP!

We had a wonderful day today! After breakfast we went on the "jaunting cars" which are horse and carriage rides. We went through the lovely Killarney National Park and saw deer, incredible mountain views and the 6th century Ross Castle, where we stopped to take pictures by the lake. Our horse was called Napoleon (Bonaparte not Dynamite!) Many of the kids said that was their best part of the day!

Then we went upon the Ring of Kerry And stopped at a Bog Museum, had lots of great photo op stops, and drove through the mountains; seeing lots of sheep, cows, celtic hillforts, and stunning water views. We loved seeing the leprauchaun crossing sign, and hearing the story of the fairy trees. The kids really enjoyed it, although it WAS cold!

We were back for a 6:30 dinner and now the kids have all gone in with the other kids in the group to an Irish music singalong.

This is really a sorry accounting of the day, but I am exhausted and the Internet is really spotty. Tomorrow we leave Killarney and head to Dublin by way of the Blarney Castle.

I hope all is well at home. We are NOT missing the hot weather! It's not cold cold but can be chilly at times!

Take care-
