Team at Blarney



In early January we drove 2 hours away to visit the Blarney Castle.  It was fascinating!  The famous stone to kiss is at the very top (left side)- above Anna's head.  We didn't kiss it, by the way.  I was surprised to learn it has its roots in witchcr*ft










This man sits at the top of the castle and helps people to bend backwards, so they can kiss the stone (he's now pointing at).  If you notice, there are bars there, but it's a direct drop to the ground otherwise.
The stone is where those 5 horizontal openings are, but on the other side of the castle.  You can see straight down, if you dare.
The grounds were beautiful (especially considering it was winter- January).
