This looks like a good place to play my ukulele

For breakfast i had coco pops (chocolate rice krispies exactly like at home). then we headed into dublin for our blarney tour. we got to the office and then we had to ride in the little bus that smelt like BO and it was just nick and i and the driver and we were afraid we were going to get stuck riding in this little bus with this man the entire way there but he just took us to where the aircoach picked us up which is a big coach company. the bus we were supposed to take ended up having a dead battery so we had to wait another half hour for a new bus and then headed to cork. it was about a three and a half to four hour bus ride. it sucked. then we got there and got on another little bus with just us two and the driver and headed to blarney castle. this driver was cool and actually told us about the castle and he said that michael jackson wouldn't kiss the stone and he thought it was because he was afraid his nose would fall off and fall down the castle wall. the castle was cool and the steps to the top were very narrow and kinda freaked me out but we went and kissed the stone. as soon as we went to walk down nick said "did you kiss the actual stone?" and i was just informed that it's literally a stone you have to kiss and i thought it was just that general area so i may have or may not have actually kissed the blarney stone but oh well. there's lots of gardens and areas to explore but we didn't have long to be there. i wish we could have done a day trip just to the castle but oh well. we got to see the poison garden and then some dungeons and a few really big trees. we then went to this little town that's pretty much the same as every other little town except this one had an awful tiny carnival. we just sat in this little park and looked at the harbor that hardly had any water. we then went back into cork and had a while to walk after before we took the 4 hour bus ride back. we found a pennys and i got a shirt. nick got a sweet zip up from a sports store that says "manchester united" which is a really well known team. then we headed back home and when we finally got here derek had stayed up and he made us some pizzas. it was really good but i was so hungry i ate it even though it was hot and i can feel how tore up and raw the roof of my mouth is right now. we both had twister pops too which is a combination of a popsicle and ice cream. i'm extremely tired now though so i'm heading to bed and i get to sleep in tomorrow :)
