Blarney Castle

Another day trip down south of the country.  Here to Blarney Castle home of the Blarney Stone.  The castle is on some nice grounds that have a trail you can follow to see a bunch of stones and trees.  The castle itself has narrow stairways, not much to the castle other than the stone but some nice views overlooking the countryside.  What everyone goes to do is to kiss the stone.  By kissing the stone it is supposed to improve your oratory skills.  The stone is located at the top of the castle and you have to lie on your back and hang over the edge in order to kiss the stone.  Not really as scary as it sounds, there is a guy holding you and there are bars underneath of you.
