Killarney

For the first part of my week off Matt and I decided to go to Killarney. That is in County Kerry, on the southwest part of the island. There is a national park there and it is supposed to be one of the more beautiful places in the country. It was spectacular, however most of the trip it rained on us, so I am not sure if it would be even better in the sunshine. We stayed in the cutest little B&B. It was pink. Totally cute, the proprieters, Pat and Mary were really nice. The town of Killarney is real cute and pretty small. We visited a bog village while we were there. Lots of cute little thatched huts. for reference look at Galway or Limerick - they all look the same. The best part were the absolutely stunning vistas. I took about 30 shots of them and even after I deleted the doubles and ones that did not turn out, I have like 15 left. I will only put one up here. There was also this really cool waterfall that we saw. It was actually the second waterfall we saw, this one is always here though. The first was a waterfall that was created soley by the rain coming down the mountain. Now the real one was no angel falls or anything but it had to be at least forty feet high. It was really beautiful. One of the nights we were there we went to a session (live traditional Irish music). It was lots of fun. Tried a new Irish whiskey. All in all a good night out. I was excited when I knew some of the songs that the band sang, I got to sing along with everyone else.
They were called the Black Rose I think. It is hard to remember that kind of thing by the end of the night ya know. Anyway, had a great time in Killarney. Next edition of the blog: Paris (part one anyway).
