Mutha Fuckin' Ireland: Kilkenny, Cashel, and Blarney

So, when I go about doing things like uploading pictures, I upload the shit out of 'em. This isn't all the photos from our trip to Ireland, hell some of them aren't even that good. All that I know is that I just took my sweet ass time putting them on my computer and then took even longer to get them to my ever so masssive internet audience. So, without further ado, here are the pics of The Toast's trip to Ireland, with Kool-Aid in tow. Now, with even more small raccoon shots (I'll explain later)!!

Walking into central Kilkenny from our B&B.


Blaa...Blaa...Blaa...sandwiches!


Kilkenny Castle


St. Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny


View of Kilkenny from atop tower at St. Canice's Cathedral


Kool-Aid and the Toast atop said tower


More Kilkenny


Even more Kilkenny


It's a long way to Tipperary. Kool-Aid and I used to live on Tipperary Hill in Syracuse, NY.


They have trees there too?!?!


Cashel, Co. Tipperary


Open till 17.30, when the shit is that???


Rock of Cashel


More Rock of Cashel


That's a rockin' Kool-Aid..HA!....sigh.


Well, certainly there's going to be a little showmanship.


My foist material possession, my stuffed raccoon Rocky also made the trip. Keep your eyes open for sighting.


Hore Abbey, Cashel, Co. Tipperary. This was right across the street from the Rock.


More Rock of Cashel


The view from the top of the hill


Imprisoned inside the Rock of Cashel. Watch out..that's one vicious coon!!!


Just some path that I liked that lead from Cashel to Hore Abbey


I crush your Abbey!


Kool-Aid and I doing what we do best, lookin' cute.


More Cashel


Cahir, Co. Tipperary




She's just so G.D. dorky.


Cahir Castle


Gratuitous action shot!


This castle was just sitting right in the middle of town in Cahir, like a Starbucks would here.


You wouldn't know it from the shot, but we's were drunk here. Last night in Kilkenny.


Blarney Castle, Blarney, Co. Cork. Home of the infamous Blarney Stone.

From inside Blarney Castle


Eh..it's a staircase, what of it?


Tree outside Blarney Castle. The whole grounds were pretty amazing.


A path..a path..

Cobh and the Dingle Peninsula

The village of Cobh, Co. Cork. (pronounce Cove)


I think Kool-Aid took this one. For all you purple flower fans out there.

Cobh

Cobh

St. Colman's Cathedral, Cobh.

Cobh was all hilly and shit, and our B&B was right on the top of said hills.

Had some beers here...niiiice.

Ladies and Gentlemen..welcome to the Dingle Peninsula (I wish that damn van didn't make the picture though)


Dingle, Co. Kerry


Kool-Aid feeding Fungie, the Dingle Dolphin our Ireland guide book.


This seems about right.


Our B&B in Dingle was a sheep farm. Once again, this seems about right.



Dingle Peninsula might very well have been the most beautiful place I've ever been. Take a ganders for yourself


Dingle


We basically drove around this 30 KM cliffside road, and this is what you saw.


See the rearview mirror??


More Dingle Coastline


Aforementioned Road


This path rolled you down a hillside ultimately to the beachy coast.


Rocky and I in cold-ass Atlantic Ocean water.


More Dingle Coastline


And again.

And again.
