| The view from The Rock of Cashel |
Woke up at a horrific hour this morning. 5:30.
Super gross. But it was alright because we went on a day tour to The Rock of
Cashel, Blarney, and Cork. And we got to drive through the countryside, which
was gorgeous. So pretty and green. Slept for
about an hour though, which was nice. We stopped at a little gas station on the
way to the castle. I got a Coke and I’ve decided that Coke is better in Europe
than it is in the States. And they had these adorable little donkeys outside the
gas station.
After that we went to the castle. The Rock of Cashel. It was
on top of this giant rock. The legend says that St. Patrick fought Satan on one
of the nearby “mountains” (their “mountains” are basically large hills. It’s so
cute.) and that bought launched this massive rock to its current location. Anyway, when you were standing on top of this
hill, you could see so much of the countryside. It was amazing. The castle had
a little cemetery too. The inside was pretty empty, but it had some amazing
architecture. It was really cool.
