Monday

Slept in a bit since Haley wasn't  feeling well.  Decided to try a road trip to Killarney to see the town, a waterfall, and a castle.  It's a bit of a drive and as I mentioned earlier, the roads are precarious.   Here are some shots from the side of the road.  Weather a bit unpredictable today.

Believe it or not, these were all from the same spot- raining one minute, turn around and there's blue skies.

Town was okay, but a bit touristy.  Did find some Irish sweaters on sale, and a great lunch place that we couldn't pass up.

Ross castle is a refurbished castle from the 15th century, and it's quite cool.  No pictures allowed inside.  It was a very thorough tour and the castle has been preserved to look like it would have originally.

This was very cool!  Next we went for the Torc waterfall.  We pulled in for parking and ended up taking a horse carriage ride around the whole area.  

It was pouring rain for a good portion of this tour.

This was our horse, Max.

Scott recognized an actor there from one of the shows he watches(ruxsin? from The League).  They chatted and took pictures.  You can check his Facebook page to see it.

Tour continued to the Muckross House/gardens and Abbey. The house was closed but the gardens were cool.  The Abbey was A VERY cool ruin from 1450.

This tree was planted when the Abbey was built.

A rainbow on our way out. 

It didn't stop raining, though.

A long ride back to ballydehob, but we got back before dark so we wouldn't die on these crazy roads.

Until tomorrow......good night!
