Travel Abroad - Day 10

Yesterday, Steph got to uncover the legends of Blarney Castle, one of Ireland's most famous buildings. Locateed in County Cork, little remains of Blarney Castle except the castle keep (the main tower and stronghold of a castle), built in 1446. She climbed the 127 steps of the keep to take part in the long-standing tradition of kissing the Blarney stone. After kissing the stone, she walked across the street to examine Blarney's famous Woollen Mill, where she found Irish arts, crafts, and linens. Wrapping up the day, she put her new Irish dancing skills to use and then had a BBQ in the village.
