We spent the day at Blarney Castle. Kathie and I kissed the Blarney Stone. The stone is at the top level of the castle you see below. Because the castle is in ruin, there are many areas that are exposed to the weather, so today they were very wet. The climb up and down was narrow, we had to be very careful on steep smooth stone steps and some of the passages were only as wide as my shoulders.

The inside of the Watch Tower. It is the small tower in front of the castle you can see in the first picture. The holes you see are for the circular stair case that went to the top of the tower.

This was one of the waterfalls on the walks around the castle grounds.
The Druids apparently had a rock garden similar to Stonehenge in the area.
This is the Witch's Stone. The right side looks like a witch's head.
This is from underneath one of the waterfalls.
Here is Kathie going down the Wishing Stairs. You have to make a wish, go down backwards - with your eyes closed, thinking of nothing but your wish for it to come true. The stairs are smooth rock and were very slippery in the rain.
