Horse and buggy!

Sri and I arrived in Killarney, Ireland this afternoon. We took a
three and half hour train ride from Dublin to here. It was awesome
seeing the country side of Ireland! So much green!

Once we got into this town, we taxied to our hotel, the taxi drivers
are so nice, they give you mini tours as we drive through town! Once
we got to the hotel, Sri decided to rest for 30 minutes.. I was
anxious to see the sights and castles so I woke him up and we decided
to head over to some of the famous sites!

We asked the lady at The front desk the best way to get into town, she
suggested we walk, 5k, she said should only take us 20 minutes! Ha!
Well it was an amazing path, beauiful trees and valleys. Reminded me
of hiking a much greener, with more trees, Mission Peak! Once we got
into town we had a great lunch, very fresh warm food and then we
decided to walk around the small town. We happened to walk into a cafe
which literally opened their doors for business two hours before, so
all drinks and chocolates were complimentry! People here are so
friendly.

It started to rain but I still wanted to go see the Ross Castle and I
really wanted to ride the horse and carriage :) So we decided instead
if walking the 2.5k to the infamous Ross Castle we would horse and
buggy it! How fun! It was raining and beauitful! Below is a picture
from my iPhone of the 15th century castle. It was great!

Our horse driver was a character as well, Michael and his horse Whiskey!

Great times! We are now in a small cafe, thinking about what to do
next. We will be in Killarney, Ireland until Sunday night and Then
back to Dublin for the night and off the Prague Monday morn!

More later! Sorry for all the errors, I am
Typing this on my iPhone.
