We visited the Emigration Museum (we are IN Ireland, after all) in Cobh (cove) today after seeing heaps and heaps of sheep. We also learned about Annie Moore, the first person to be processed through Ellis Island (she got a $10 gold coin for being first).
The highlight of the day was Blarney Castle and kissing the Blarney Stone! Everyone enjoyed the beautiful day – really, our weather luck runs deep – and exploring the nooks and crannies of the castle. We all climbed the circular tower stairs. Collin was determined to make it all the way up and got there without breaking a sweat, and Lizzy conquered her fear of heights with him! VERY cool.
Tomorrow, we get to see sheepdogs and heaps more sheep – woohoo!
