We're In Killarney

Hello!

Well, I'm sitting in an internet cafe in Killarney loading one photo at a time into Blogger because five seem to be too much for it ta handle right now.

We drove into Killarney yesterday afternoon. Luckily I didn't really have much planned outdoors along the way because we had an afternoon of this:



Yep, that's snow. It hasn't snowed here in over 15 years...

I had really wanted to visit Ardmore, mostly because I absolutely love Nora Roberts' Irish Trilogy . Not in the snow, thankyouverymuch. We made a quick stop in Cork to visit the English Market and grab some lunch. There is a bistro upstairs that is wonderful- as it should be with all the fresh food available just down stairs.

Today dawned much nicer and after a bit of shopping in Killarney (because I had to get my family's Aran sweater) we took a jaunting cart ride.

The ride took us through parts of Killareny National Park and to Ross Castle. Brenna was very happy- she was asking when we could see another castle.


After naps and dinner (I found a place that served fish & chips and pizza) we did a bit of driving and I took the family to see Torc Waterfall.

There's a bit of a walk up to it so I hid pennies on the way up and Brenna & Caelan found them on the way down. I told them that the faeries left them...
