International Tourism in Ireland – Today I woke up and was really excited to see my first castle up close.  I had the traditional Irish breakfast which was pretty great , and then hopped in the van to head to king johns castle. 

The castle was beautiful , I really loved climbing the stairs , they were very narrow though and a bit scary but I still was very satisfied when getting to the top. I got some great pictures on the top of the castle , looking over the ledge seeing the beautiful river made me love Ireland even more.

After visiting the castle , we headed to Bunratty! I really enjoyed this little village , the castle  there was also gorgeous, I didn't get to go inside but just the view from the outside was still great.  I headed to dirty nelly'S restaurant for some lunch , and then I went to the wool store and purchased a really warm traditional Irish wool sweater! We then headed to the hotel for a nap,  and then got prepared to head back to Bunratty for a traditional Irish night ( dinner banquet ).  The food was delicious and the dancing and music was wonderful. It was a very nice evening.
