These stairs were really scary! They were narrow and didn't have handrails, so we had to hold a rope (seen here) in the center of the stairway.
These birds were on a ledge on the castle. This picture was taken as we were going up to the top, looking down at the ground.
This is at the top level of the castle - the middle of it was open.
This is the top of the castle, where the Blarney Stone is.
The Blarney Stone was my Valentine. But it was scary because underneath me, there was no floor, it just had guard rails. That's why that guy is there - because you have to be held over it and then reach backwards and down to kiss the stone (which is cleaned before almost every person).
This is my adrenaline face.
This is the Blarney Stone looking up. Those two little rails = all that keeps one from falling to ground. Well, and the guy that's there.
I'm doing a cartwheel because I'm so happy to be back on the ground! And because Maggie didn't believe me that I could do one.
Blarney House - closed "until spring."
Mystical tree on the grounds
