The Randy Leprechaun
Anascaul, Ireland
Anascaul is a small town in Ireland. The Randy Leprechaun is a pub, with a hostel beside it, colored bright green! Guess where it is located though... Right in front of a church!! You can check out the hoopla when the pub opened here

The Cliffs of Moher is one of the famous sights in Ireland. The view is really nice there, it was just a challenge to get there because at the time we went, the wind was really blowing! If not for the fence along the way up, a bunch of the people might have been blown away! =D

A Wishing Well
Ireland
There's a lot of wishing wells all over Ireland. They said, if you step on the stone in front of the well, with your back to the well, then throw a rock over your head, if the rock doesn't touch the walls of the well, then your wish will come true. The interesting thing with the wishing wells here is, they said, if the rock you threw touched the walls of the well, then the opposite of your wish will happen.

Kinvara Place
Ireland
I'm not sure where exactly this place is... I thought this was some castle of some sort but I was informed that it is not a castle. It still looks pretty to me!

A Pilgrimage Site
Knock, Ireland
"The Story of Knock began on the 21st August 1879 when Our Lady, St. Joseph and St. John the Evangelist appeared at the south gable of Knock Parish Church. The apparition was witnessed by fifteen people, young and old. From this miraculous occurrence Knock has grown to the status of an internationally recognised Marian Shrine."

Strandhill Beach
Sligo, Ireland
The beach there is nice. The other cool thing that you can do here, is take a seaweed bath! They said the oils from the seaweed makes your skin and hair luxurious! =)
