Good evening followers! Top of the morning to ya! hahaha!
This past week i was able to tour the Dublin Castle. I was so excited to go inside because i love looking and touring old places that have a history. Goodness gracious the stairway inside reminded me of the titantic staircase. I was pretending to be Rose walking down to my non existent Jack. I Wish!! The inside was so gorgeous with high painted and detailed sealings with carpteting that matched so well with the decorations. I loved how in the party room, there was mirrors on both sides of the wall to reflect off oneanother, 1 to help by giving more light and 2 for making the room seemwider rather than so narrow!! The castle was started back in 630's by the vikings and was later built over by the Normans followed by the English. In August 1204, King John of England commanded the erection of a (larger) strong castle. A fire brokeout igniting the gunpowder and burned down most of the castle. So it was built over once again. The tour guide took us to show us the remains of one of the four towers that had been there. It was so cool. There was the original stone steps and even the original building from the vikings beneath the british building. Also the water that once flowed around the entire castle is now under the town here. Although we were able to see some of the stagnant water under us. Loved it! it
What else is new? Well i am sick once again and have no voice this time!! haha But that happens. I am not having the "luck of the Irish" with my health. Maybe its because i havent found that lucky charm guy yet. Ill have to look into that.
This past weekend i also went to Killiny Bay and Dakyl, towns just south of Dublin. They are so easy to get to with the train. They were along the coast and so beautiful, for a second it reminded me of Florida but then i remembered how my body wouldn't feel frozen in Florida!! It was a lot colder near the coast. There were remains of some rock castles that were so beautiful and made me imagine what they once looked like and what took place in them!
So after seeing these castles i am imagining what mine will look like someday. It will have a lot of purple and Cheetah print(Fake ofcourse) and don't worry id make it classy. i also envision a possible waterslide but i am only at the begginning of my planning! A girls gotta dream!!!
Anywho I love you and miss you!!
P.S. I am heading to Scottland on Friday!! I AM SO PUMPED!!!!!!! I get to meet my grandma Sue's lifelong penpal and her son. It will be so cool!
toodles!
Love always&forever,
