august 18th.
so today we decided to do what's called.THE RING OF KERRY. reminds me of the ring of death..and lemme tell ya..it was. the roads were so winding, and my tum tum hated it..so much. but it was really fun! we started pretty early because we wanted to beat all the old people in their giant buses on the tiny tiny roads.
so our first stop was heritage village where guess what i saw!? THE WORLDS SMALLEST HORSE. it was so precious. i wanted to pack it in my pocket..or make it give me a ride...whichever works.
then we went to these really cool fort kinda things...and climbed on the walls there..took a tons of pictures and what not. it was really awesome! and super windy :) then not too far from there, there was this giant old castle with a billion cows just roaming around there..so we took our picture with the cows..and i was scared for my life. then we ate some chocolate sandwiches and apple juice, and got on the road...yet again.
oh then we stopped off at the beautiful beach...and got some irish rocks..and the irish ocean attacked me and my shoes :) so i was drenched...and freezing! it's so cold here...i'm not even kidding
then we went to this windy windy place up in the mountains. it overlooked the ocean and what not..and it was so so pretty..but lemme tell ya it was so windy i almost blew away. and my mom was wearing a poncho..dont ask me why..but it really almost took her away..i have never seen something so funny in my life! i about died. that that'snot a lie :) so we hung out there...laughed our guts out...then we drove and drove and drove some more and more on the twisty roads of death...then we went to dinner and mr. macs again..because it was pouring rain and we didnt wanna have to walk around trying to find somewhere to go..so we just went there..then we went to the internet cafe and just hung out there for a while.
august 19th
we left our grammy's house B&B to head to...THE CASTLE! :D but we wanted to make one stop first. so after driving for about an hour...and then we took the ferry across the river..and drove for about another hour we made it to the glorious cliffs of moher! but...it was raining...and it was so foggy you couldnt see a thing. so we ate some more chocolate sandwiches, with our chocolate cookies, and a chocolate muffin, and..all the chocolate you could ever imagine...and then we decided to go back up there to wait for the fog to lift.
well..we waited and waited and waited until we saw a blue spot in the sky. oh the glorious blue spot. so FINALLY it lifted..and oh let me tell you...it was SO worth the wait. it was absolutely gorgeous! you could see forever and ever and...ah..it was just so pretty...we couldnt capture it in a picture..and i most definately can't capture it with words..it's just something you have to see to know how absolutely wonderful it is.
so then after hanging out there..and me getting really sick..again we took another really long drive to find our castle. after probably 2 hours of driving...and a lotta tiny skinny scary roads...yet again...we got here. it is absolutely beautiful! but i feel a little out of place. for breakfast they serve like freakin lambs liver and i was like..who the heck in their right mind would eat that at all..and for breakfast nonetheless?! but oh well..we went to dinner just at the pub here..and they set us at this freakin coffee table..and a couch..and two REALLY uncomfortable chairs...but we were all half out of it from driving in the car for so long we just laughed..and laughed..and laughed...until we died. then we just hung out in our FREAKIN BEAUTIFUL ROOMS! my parents bedroom is like forever and a half away from ours though..so we dont see them really because it's a hike just to get from one room to the other. you have to go through these hidden doors...down a hall..down some stairs...down another hall..down some more stairs..and through another door and hall to get to our room. it's so pretty though! our window looks over the river...and me and abigain share this giant bed that you could fit about 17 people in. and we have a couch. and a tv. and some chairs. and they have robes! and about 5 giant mirrors. and 2 desks. and a sitting room outside the bathroom. and a huge bathroom. ah...it's just absolutely wonderful. oh and the towels! they are not like dumb hotel towels that you cant even wrap around your body. they are huge! i love this place! i could totally live here :)
anyways...today we're just going to hang around here since it is such a long drive to anything, and tomorrow we will be driving forever and a half..back to dublin to the airport hotel and we leave friday morning :(
we should be home around 10:30 pm friday night.
oh. embarrassing story i never told you. the day we went to that fort...like the 3rd day we were here i think...um we were driving around town and just caught in a jam so we were just sitting there and there were some kids sitting on a bench just talking..so i was just watching them..i dunno because they were in my looking lane or whatever...but all of a sudden one of the boys just looks at me and does his readable lips and says STOP LOOKING AT ME. but really..what do you do in this situation..give him thumbs up? i just kinda awkwardly turned my head...and me and merrit just busted up laughing because i did that exact thing to someone onetime at a stop light to some guy in the other car. i guess what goes around comes around.
