Today was a very sunny day! Something that doesn't normally happen around here. We toured the Ring of Kerry and got to get off and see some beautiful sights along the way. First, we stopped at a bog village. Bogs are places were people have been buried but from the chemicals in the soil it has persevered them so that they decay but not as rapided as a regular buried person. It was interesting to see that. Also it was Irish coffee time which made it even better. Irish coffee here consists of sugar, coffee, whiskey, and cream. Nothing like having whiskey at 9 am :) Next, we went to see a beach. All of Killarney is really beautiful with the mountains and all the green land. Then, we had lunch. Beer with lunch. Legit drinking all day. Best thing ever! After lunch, we did a couple of more site stops to see a waterfall and a bunch of beautiful views. Next, we went back to the hotel and had a welcome dinner together. Dinner was good. Conversation got a bit out of hand with an argument about religion but all in all it was really nice. Finally, a night out on the town! We went to two bars and had a blast!

Currently on a bus on the way to Cork. Extremely hung over and this bus ride is a bit brutal.
