We arrived in Cork a couple of days ago, and have enjoyed staying in one place for a few nights. The hostel is great and the staff has been very helpful. Yesterday we took a bus trip around the Ring of Kerry, which is beautiful! We stopped in Killarney for about an hour. Rebecca and I walked for a little while before enjoying rhubarb tarts and tea for two at a little bakery we found. The drive was interspersed with various stops and we had fish and chips at our final stop of the day in Kenmare. It rained off and on throughout the day, and I think some people were rather disappointed in the tour because of that. We actually like the rain and thought the fog made the view even lovelier.
We woke up earlier today to drive to the Cliffs of Moher, stopping in the town of Limerick to change buses. We took some photos of the castle and laughed at the swans fighting with each other in the lake.
A brief stop was also made in Durren where we opted out of lunch in favor of more walking. The cliffs were gorgeous, although due to the fog it wasn't easy to get some decent pictures. We managed, though. And tomorrow we will visit Blarney castle, and hopefully, if all goes well, kiss the stone apparently. 'Ta for now.

So is Cork on the shore facing England? It seems lovely and green. Let me know how your life changes after kissing the blarney stone.
Those photos are breathtaking. We keep praying for you in the chapel at the DT on Monday nights, and we miss you there and at home group.
Do you have a clorox wipe to use on the blarney stone before you kiss it? Think of the germs!
Blessings,
Debbie
