Today we went to Blarney Castle it's this really amazing castle with the Blarney Stone. Apparently if you kiss the stone you get "the gift of the gab" or eloquence. The legend of Blarney Stone came from two resources. One was from the goddess Cliodhna. Cormac Laidir MacCarthy (the builder of the castle) was involved in a lawsuite. So he pleaded to the goddess to help so she
told MaCarthy to kiss the first stone he found on his way to court. He did so then he was "gift of elouence" and he won his case. So now the stone has "magical powers". Sadly I for one did not kiss the stone. (I was to scared I would fall) Anyway the grounds around the castle are also amazing. There is a lot of really cool trees and a bunch of interesting rocks. (there's even one that looks like a witches head) So you're probaly getting tired of reading so I will stop now.
