Day Ten: Ring of Kerry

It's so rainy today; we're finally experiencing the genuine Irish weather!

Today, we left Cobh for Killarney. On the way, we went to the Kerry Bog Museum, which was a few houses set up like it would be in the 1900's. It was small, but interesting.

Then we went to a sheep dog demonstration. It's so crazy how trained those dogs are! Their owner only has to say a certain thing or blow the whistle a certain way and the dogs will immediately obey. They can even tell when he's talking to them or another dog. It was so fun to watch, but I wish we had the opportunity to pet them!

Next, we drove through the famous Ring of Kerry. Unfortunately, it was quite rainy and foggy, so we did not stop as much as we would have liked to take pictures. That just means I'll have to come back to take the pictures I didn't get!

We're now settling into our hotel in Killarney. Tonight, we're going to a group dinner which will be followed by live Irish music. It should be entertaining!
