I kissed a rock and I liked it.......

A week ago we hopped on a ferry to Ireland. We landed in Dublin and we spent two days there. There was a pub with live music, and a cool interactive museum about the medieval and Viking history of Dublin.

Then we went to Doolin for a night. There I got this cool Irish drum called a bodrán 

(pronounced boar-on) that you hit with a double sided drumstick.

We then proceeded to Galway, where we were sort of just killing time. There was a cool amusement park there, and they had this really fast ride that went around in a circle while tipping you sideways. In short, I screamed. A lot.

Then we went to Killarney. In Killarney, we went on this massive 11 k walk. My legs are STILL HURTING! The next day we went on a horse and Carriage ride which was also cool.

On the way to the ferry that was going to take us back to London, we went to Blarney castle. At Blarney castle you can kiss the Blarney Stone. That's right, kiss the Blarney Stone. As legend has it, if you kiss the Blarney Stone you get good luck.

Now we are on the way to London, to catch the Eurostar train to Paris.
