Kissing the Blarney Stone, Blarney Castle

Drove from Cork to Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone. Received certificate from “Sir Charles St. John Colthurst of Ardrum, Inniscarra, in the county of Cork”…that having kissed the Blarney Stone I am sent forth with “the Gift of Eloquence”. Walking up the tiny extremely narrow stone staircase with small slits in the stone walls, made me feel extremely claustrophobic, so that leaning backwards and upside down hundreds of feet up at the top of the castle was a breath of fresh air.
Mission accomplished!
