Justin and I arrived in Killarney yesterday evening and are so excited for a change of pace. The big city life can be a little overwhelming, especially in Dublin where a million people come to party Irish style. But let me tell you a little bit about "Irish style" in Dublin. Picture the biggest frat party you've ever seen and multiply it by a hundred. Add some "I love rock n' roll" and "Man, I feel like a woman" No wonder there weren't even any Irish people there! We made the best of Dublin, but it wasn't really our seen. Now picture this: rolling hills covered in some many different shades of green it looks like a patchwork quilt. Add some cows and sheep. And some "Top O' the mornin' to ya" and that's Killarney. We are also surrounded by mountains and forest which makes the air smell like pine and old stone. We are staying at Neptune's hostel which has a rustic charm to it. Beautiful weather has been following us everywhere. We've had nothing but sunshine everywhere we've gone. Still cool, but not wet. We are going to take a walk to Ross Castle this morning which is in a national park and overlooks a lake. There is a spot on the peninsula were you can't see a single house. Then there is a parade through the town center at 2:00 we are going to watch. At 7:00 our hostel is holding a free bbq to celebrate. We have one more night here, but we're thinking of booking one more. Then we will probably head down to Cork and then fly from there to Scotland. After that... Paris!! So, as you can tell, things are going great, and we are having a lovely time (lovely is a word we've adopted from the British vocabulary, along with brilliant). We are planning on posting pictures when we get to Paris and have free Internet, so just hang in there a little while longer. We have some great ones!! Miss and love you all!
