St. Patrick's Day Adventures!

In honor of St. Patty's Day, I thought I'd take you all to Northern Ireland. Sound good? Great! Now, below you will see some pictures of--

Oh...you thought I meant LITERALLY take you to Northern Ireland? Silly goose. That would be nice though...

Anyway, below you will find some pictures. They are fabulous pictures, are they not? This summer they will be two years old, meaning that it has been two years since I set foot on Irish soil. *sigh* But luckily, St. Patty's Day gives me a chance to reminisce about my Irish excursion. So fasten your seat belts and put your trays in the upright position, because here we go!

(Pay no attention to the dates on the pictures. I couldn't figure out how to turn it off/change it until a few months after we got back...)

The Antrim Round Tower, aka Rapunzel's Tower
(Not really. But legend says a witch did fall out of it, so you know. Close.)

An Irish traffic jam
(The only thing that made waiting for those sheep to move -- for just short of an hour -- not maddening was the fact that we were in Ireland. And they were Irish sheep.)


Enniskillen, street-shot
(Excellent shopping.)


That big black thing is a PUPPY.
(And it SMELLED. But it was a big black smelly IRISH puppy, so you know.)

A renaissance festival at Shane's Castle
(Coolest thing ever -- a renaissance festival IN IRELAND. Kinda makes our renfests look a little...cheesy.)

A leprechaun hearse
(I really don't know what that is, but they were all over. Delivery trucks? They just made me laugh.)

And, of course: Giant's Causeway.
(They may look pretty, but those stones are freakin' slippery.)

There you have it, my blog buddies: a whirlwind tour of Northern Ireland for a whole lot less than it would cost to fly there. Dontcha feel more Irish, now? Time for a Guinness! (Actually, no, for a number of reasons: one, I'm not legal, and two, Guinness is N-A-S-T-Y stuff. But, you know, I don't know that, because I'm not legal...)
