Killarney

Went to Killarney today and hiked around the national park, saw Ross Castle and muckross lake. Tried to get up onto the main mountain there but it was too foggy, so the trails were shut down for the afternoon. No biggie. I still did a 10 mile hike through the hills in the park and got to see the Irish forests.

And another big find in the city of Killarney...ICE CREAM. Finally! I don't think there is one single ice cream place in Cork. It is just not very big here. They mostly like gummy candies and things like that. SO it was a very happy time for me when I stumbled across Murphys Ice Cream Shop. I am thinking it is like the graeters of ireland from what I tasted hahaha. Had the cookies ice cream. Tastes just like cookies and cream back home.

I finished up my trip to killarney with a walk around town and throughout the woolin markets where they have some really nice sweaters. They had some pretty sweet cosby sweaters as well...crazy stripes and patterns with hats to match. Awesome.

After coming home from killarney, the group and I went to a pool hall and played a few games and hung around for the rest of the night listening to traditional irish music. As you can see, there are some crazy characters out on a Tuesday night hahaha.
