Bored yet?

Are you bored of reading about my trip yet?  Is anyone even reading it anyway? I am bored of posting about it, I mean we have been home for a month now.  There are new things in life. But, I can't leave it unfinished, so here goes.

We spent our last day in Ireland visiting Killarney national park.

We toured Ross Castle in the park, we weren't aloud to take pictures inside. Sorry.

 Then we took a boat ride to Inishfallen Island with this Irish gent.

On the little island is an old monastery from the 1200s!

Then onto Scotland!  Scotland was our favorite.  We thought it was the prettiest and the people were the nicest, and Edinburgh, the capital was our favorite city so far.

While we were in Edinburgh the Fringe festival was going on, the city's population doubles for this festival.  Its the biggest arts festival in the world. Here is some street entertainment from the Fringe.

 We toured the Edinburgh Castle, here is a view from the top.

 Here is the castle, set on top of a cliff.  It was huge, you could see it from just about anywhere in the city (think much bigger old main if you are a fayettevillian)

We spent a lot of time walking around the city, looking at sites.  All of the buildings are really beautiful and so old.  The "new town" section was built in the 1700s.  

This is Arthur's seat, set in a park right outside the city.  I climbed that thing in a dress and my toms.  

 This guy was on stilts in a kilt on the top.  Hilarious.  He never cracked a smile.

Scotland beauty. 

 We went on a night time "ghost tour".  It was really fun. The tour guide was hilarious.  And I learned a TON of history.  I won't bore you though.

And on the next post, I will finish this trip.  Whew.
