Ireland Day 3

I'm so behind on the latest and greatest with the Baker family. Here's what I have from our latter part of our Ireland adventures....

Friday morning we went and picked up our sweet rental car at the airport and drove down to Killarney Ireland.


Bryan was driving because there was no way I was gonna do the other side of the road thing!



It's about 45 minutes away from Cork and the view on the drive down is amazing!


When we got there we checked into our hotel. Unfortunately and fortunately the economy is pretty bad there so Bryan was able to bargain with them and get us a suite for only 100 Euros!!






There was even a little fireplace under the tv too



We had a great view of all the "buggies" too



We drove to the Ring of Kerry to see the sights. We didn't do the whole thing just ladies view and a hike up to see the Torc waterfall. The Ring of Kerry is basically a collection of gorgeous historic places.

Here's on the walk up





Some little troll that lived under this bridge



The Torc Waterfall



Bryan carved our initials in a tree:)



Bryan doing something he's not supposed to like always



Bryan found this walking stick for our adventures, he was pretty excited about that





Had to take a picture of the pretty clovers



This was one of our stops on the way up to Ladies View







Look how wide the roads are...the Tahoe would never survive in Ireland



Ladies View



Yeayyyaaaa!!!





After our driving adventures we walked up to a restaurant that had traditional Irish music that night



Dinner at the Danny Man



I had some delicious lamb and mashed potatoes



After dinner we watched the band perform.


They were so cute, in an Irish accent they said...Let us know if you have any requests and if we know it we'll play it and if not we won't. So... Bryan had to go to the "bathroom" and had our waitress bring them a request from him.

It said I am here with my wife Meagan for our 1 yr anniversary and would like you to play Van Morrison Moondance, it was played at our wedding last year. He didn't know it so he played some other Irish song. I was pretty much in tears during the whole thing because it was so sweet!!
