So today we headed out once again on another leg of our journey. We left the hotel in Cobh about 9 am and set course for the Ring of Kerry. The views were breathtaking! We stopped at the Kerry Bog Museum a few hours into our trip. It was a few buildings set up and preserved as they would have look in the 1800s. It was a really neat thing to see.
We also saw a sheep dog demonstration today. It was awesome. The guy showing us was only using two dogs for the show, but said he usually has four that he uses with the herd and two that he is training. Each dog can understand exactly what the trainer is commanding with a set of whistles. Each dog also has its own set of whistles so he can direct them individually. It was so amazing to me how well the dogs knew what to do.
After lunch at a little cafe along the way, we started back towards Killarney. It really should have only been about a two hour trip but we stopped at a bunch of lookout spots along the way to take pictures. It would have been much better if it didn't pour the whole day. The bus driver also put in a Beatles CD for the way back.
After settling into the hotel, we went to dinner just down the street at a little pub/restaurant. After we ate an Irish and played for a couple of hours. It was really fun to watch. Tomorrow we have a free morning and a free evening. The only planned activity is a lecture at 4:30. Who knows what tomorrow has in store!
