I am falling behind in my editing, etc. Dave and Linda still here from Arizona. but not for much longer, so am trying to get as much visiting in as I can.
It is really hot and humid - the humidity kills you - 94 degrees yesterday, supposed to be hotter today. Everything here is just drying up. Bossman has been trying to keep the garden watered, but don't know how much longer we can do that.
Can't believe tomorrow is the end of June. this year is half over. What happened?
Guess I'll hit some of the high spots of Day 4.
Suitcases out 6 a.m. Breakfast 7 a.m. On bus 8 a.m. Sound familiar? The next hotel we will be staying at (for 2 nights) is the Killarney Plaza Hotel in Killarney (imagine that) Ireland.
Our first stop of the day was Blarney Castle. Did I kiss the blarney stone? You have to be kidding! I talk enough as it is, sure don't need any help in that department. Anyway over a hundred slippery stone steps is more than I wanted to tackle.

The castle was awesome. Built 600 years ago by Cormac MacCarthy. There are many legends as to why kissing the blarney stone make you eloquent (run off at the mouth in case you didn't already know that). One legend states that MacCarthy was being sued in court, was advised to kiss a stone on his way, which he did. Upon arriving at court, he pleaded his case with such great eloquence he won. Thus kissing the stone brings luck, good fortune, and the ability to out-talk all those around you.
We spent the morning at the castle, walking the beautiful grounds, and shopping at the Blarney Castle shops. What a fun day.
After lunch we re-boarded the bus, went to our little domestic area in the back, re-arranged our housekeeping to some extent to make room for our purchases, then settled back for the second half of our day.
And the waiting began, what would we see around the next bend, or the next hill? Nancy and I have loved every minute of our trip to this point, and can hardly wait to see what is next, but at the same time wish time would slow down. Our vacation is passing by much too rapidly.
Try to stay cool today, don't do anything outside if you don't have to, and God Bless.
