Killarney

My schedule is finally starting to pick up. This past week I was kept busy with classes, chores, errands, and dance rehearsals. Therefore, I was relieved when I hopped on the bus for my well-deserved weekend in Killarney. Three Pink Floyd albums later, I got off the bus, checked into the hostel, and headed out for a leisurely pub dinner. I ordered fish and chips for the first time since I’ve been in Ireland.

It was good, but it would have been better if I was able to douse it in hot sauce. I’m considering buying a small bottle to carry in my purse.

This morning, at the crack of dawn (literally), I walked to Killarney National Park. It was beautiful, scenic and wonderful (are you getting sick of hearing that yet?). Unfortunately, a lot of the paths were flooded.

Some highlights of the trip were:

Ross castle

 Seeing a pack of red deer, which are supposedly rare

And just the view in general

This relaxing trip ended up giving me quite a work out, but it was worth it.
