Day 23 - Southern Ireland

We took off from Kilkenny this morning after an AMAZING Irish breakfast with sausage, ham, bacon, and black pudding (an Irish specialty--don't ask what's in it!). We stopped by the most famous crystal factory in the world--Waterford Crystal where we were able to watch the crystal-making process in action! Then we drove to the Cork area and to Blarney Castle. Here we kissed the Blarney stone, thereby receiving the gift of eloquence--though Megan Lappinga insists it didn't work on her as she was jumbling through her words today. After grabbing dinner in Killarney, a quaint little town, we headed to the Strand's End House B&B in Cahersiveen, Ireland. Tomorrow we do the Ring of Kerry!
