It is difficult not to fall in love with Ireland. Due to all of the rain they receive, the grass is always a beautiful green. Plus, the people of Ireland are the nicest you'll meet anywhere and the many ruins of old castles and abbeys make for a picturesque backdrop. On our way from Kilkenny to Doolin we made the side trip over to the Rock of Cashel to tour another medieval site. Just as all the rest it was completely beautiful.

We skipped the guided tour because one was finishing up when we arrived and the next didn't start for another hour. Although, at the end, we heard the guide say that legend has it, whomever can reach their arms around the post (above) and touch their hands on the other side...will never have a toothache again. So being 6'3", my husband gave it a try and now we know, he'll never have another toothache!
I was really excited to see some of the farm animals in Ireland, so it was great to take a few pictures of the sheep milling about the ruins.
