Here we are at Blarney Castle. Blarney Castle was built nearly six hundred years ago by one of Ireland’s greatest chieftains, Cormac MacCarthy, and has been attracting attention beyond Munster ever since.

(Socks) I thought the Daffodils in the garden were stunning. MoMo and I took a stroll through green pastures, where horses and cattle graze, to Blarney Lake. It was very romantic

(Photo by Karl) Ruis kissed the Blarney Stone. I guess that means he is full of Blarney now (Ha, Ha).

Here we are at a real Irish pub. I love the matching green scarves me and MoMo (kitty) have. Scylla choose a heavy cream sweater as she was cold, but I think it looked very nice on her. Socks is being very naughty he is drinking green beer, I am going to tell Mommy when we get home, cause he wouldn't let me and Scylla have any.

After eating and drinking until we were full we went to the Irish premiere of Pearl by the world renowned street theatre company Plasticiens Volants (France). This is an outdoor spectacle for a family audience. This so inspired us we agreed to do a guest performance of Lord of the Dance, by special invitation of Michael Flatley.

It turns out that Opus and Roscoe are international celebrities. Who knew we knew someone so famous. The house was sold out for our performance.

I think we were magnificent if I do say so myself.

We also attended the Christ Church Cathedral Choir Concert.

Christ Church Cathedral is very interesting Standing on high ground in the oldest part of the city, this cathedral is one of Dublin's finest historic buildings. It dates back to 1038 when Sitric, the then Danish king of Dublin, built the first wood here. In 1171 the original simple foundation was extended into a cruciform and rebuilt in stone by Strongbow, although the present structure dates mainly from 1871 to 1878 when a huge restoration was undertaken.

GOOD NEWS !!!!!! We knew Mommy's fabric glue was strong. After all it held Mommy's horse-head bookend made out of Agate together after me & Scylla broke one of them playing chase, but who knew it could hold The Tower back together. It's all fixed now.

Our friends, listed in no particular order. . Kitties - Sassy, Karl, Emil, Mrs Oz, Ruis, Opus and Roscoe, MoMo Doggies - Asta, Stanley, Momo-dog and Pinot, Charlie have their own photo's and stories to share so be sure to stop by and visit them. If I forgot somebody please let me know so I can add you to the list, as I just borrowed Scylla's list. My thanks to my friends (MoMo and the faithful SS, Sassy, Asta, Charlie, Karl and Opus & Roscoe) for letting me use the pictures they took as our photographer lost our camera. We are thinking up a suitable punishment for when we get home. ~Charybdis
