Ireland trip

First night: We checked into the hostel and walked around downtown Dublin. Admiring the kilts that everyone had on for the Ireland/Scotland rugby match that was on that evening.

monday: We met the paddywagon tour in Dublin, there were 32 of us on our bus. Headed immediately south stopping at Cashel Rock, a couple of castles, and a trip to kiss the Blarney stone. We stopped for the night in Kilarney were we went out for a pub dinner and then many of us headed to The Grand for a couple of hours of excellent traditional Irish musicians.

tuesday: Based from Kilarney, we drove to the Dingle peninsula. Stopped along the way to run around on a few gorgeous beaches. Eventually made it to Dingle for lunch. Spent a couple of hours attempting to attract the attention of the local dolphin, Fungie. Some of the South African boys on our tour (the group was a lot of Australians, 1 Kiwi, 4 Americans, and about 10 South Africans on gap year.) even jumped in the rather chilly water to try to get his attention. We drove a bit more of the Ring of Kerry and stopped at the point of the peninsula. On the way back to Kilarney, our guide let us out to run around and taught us the rules of hurling and gaelic football. The latter became quite popular with our group and whenever we needed to run off some energy we asked to stop and play.
