blarney me stone!

Hey guys...it's been a couple of days. We started our paddywagon tour and it has been a good time! Our driver is hilarious....Jessica (larson), you would totally have a crush on him, both jacks and i agree! he sings irish songs to us, he is 30, and very irish, greenish blue eyes, shaggy hair, a total ourdoorsman. We asked if he was available for ya! anyway, we went to the blarney stone, at blarney castle...which was beautiful (the castle, not the stone), but the stone was a bit...dissapointing. It is built into the castle, at the top, so you have to walk up these old old narrow stairs to the top and you wouldn't even notice it was there, except for the fact that 2 men hold you up and bend you backwards, meanwhile you can see the ground three stories below and then you just kiss this part of the wall, except for that your eyes are closed because if you look down, it will freak you out! So, we did it....and now i'm supposed to have the gift of eloquent speaking... we will see....i'm not sure it has worked so far. We also went to the Cliffs of Moher today, which were absolutely gorgeous. It was freezing, but, just fabulous. Also, there weren't a lot of people there, so, it was pretty secluded. We went to this little seaside town called Doolin, and had lunch at a pub, which was delicious. Again, it looks like a story village, with houses of all different colors just spread out with the huge rocky ocean side just there, and random cows and sheep walking around everywhere. It is quite surreal, if you ask me. After that we went to the Burren, which is basically an area of pure limestone rock hills. the terrain just changes so drastically from green grass with the occasional rock to more rock than grass and steep cliffs that go into the ocean. We layed on the edge of one and watched the waves crash on the rocks about 100feet below...it was gorgeous. We are now in Galway, which is a darling little town, going to dinner with our group then out to a pub! miss you all!
p.s. jess, we will take a pic of the tourguide for ya!
