Ok this is going to be kinda random. Really random. In fact, if you want a better picture of what Kate and I have been up to, please check out the pictures here.

I'll work on adding some really detailed descriptions later tonight. So onto the random.

Cork was kinda nutz. We had fun watching the world cup there, but otherwise it was just another city, but one with a ton of Europeans and nothing going on between 5-9:30. See Kate's post for more on Cork.

So then we headed out west to Killarney. The drive went pretty quick since there was a new highway that went straight there from cork. We decided to hit up Killarney National Park and a Wicked Victorian Era Mansion. The Mansion was about one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It was donated to the park system with pretty much everything still in it. Sadly we don't have much in the way of pictures since you weren't allowed to take them. But it was amazing. See pics for the outside shots. I with we had more time to check out the park. We didn't get to really explore it since we were short on time. Something to do next time!

So we departed there and decided to head straight to Dingle, a town on a Peninsula off the west coast. This is the first time on our trip that we didn't have sleeping arrangements made already so we were hoping that we'd be able to find something once we got there. Luckily, you can't throw a stick around here without it bouncing off a B&B, breaking in half, hitting 2 more B&B's, breaking some more, then landing in the parking lot of 10 other B&B's. (some streets have only B&B's on them, it's crazy)

On our trek out to Dingle we discovered a great beach in the middle of no where!!! We had some fun with the pics there and got some much needed stretching done. Then off to dingle we went!

We we finally got there we were able to find room at a place our guide book recommended. It happened to be the nicest place we've stayed so far. Little did we know how awesome Dingle was. We ended up staying there for 2.5 days and had a blast! Total highlight of our trip so far! But you'll have to hear about it some other time. Sleep calls! Check out the pics for more info.
