January 24th

Horse Ride

Going through Killarney Park


The water was so still the mountain reflection looks fake!


Ross Castle

The town of Kenmare


     Started the day off with a carriage ride through Killarne park.  Apparently this is where all the lepercons live, unfortunately I didn't see any!  Although it was pretty and scenic riding around on the carriage, I was freezing!  We stopped at Ross Castle which was pretty cool to see.  After the ride, we got in the bus and drove all through the National Park of Killarne. 
     Once we returned to the hotel we have a conversation with a young Irish film maker, and one of his sponsors, Father Pat Moore.  We had an interesting conversation about life and the way it should be lived.  The underlying meaning was don't hesitate with life and don't be afraid to take on new challenges as your life will be over before you know it.  Father Moore was very interesting and his words really made you think about how you live your days on earth. Some of the quotes he gave us are...

"Never abandon an old friend, You will never find one who can take his place."  
"Friendship is like wine, it gets better as it grows old."
"Free your heart from hatred, Free your mind from worries, Live simply, Give more and demand less, Expect miracles in life."

  1. I love that last quote. You know castles are my things so it looks like a spot we should go back to sometime! I wish I could ride the carraige with you. I miss you and am so glad your seeing so many wonderful things :)
