The Traveling Geek- Kiss The Blarney Stone

Blarney Castle was built over 600 years ago in the beautiful countryside of Ireland.  It is actually the third structure built at that location.  The original fortification was built using wood.  The stone used for the battlements is said to give those who kiss it the gift of eloquence, also known as the “gift of the gab.”  Now people from all over the world visit this castle, walk up the narrow and winding stairs, and wait their turn to “Kiss The Blarney Stone.”  Not sure if it worked for me when I went there, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
