We visited the famous Blarney castle today to kiss the Blarney Stone. Kissing the stone is supposed to imbue you with the gift of eloquent and persuasive speech. To test how it worked they include a garden of poisonous plants. I assume the goal is to try to convince your friends and family to try tasting some of the plants. Apparently I still wasn't persuasive enough because Mel wouldn't sample any of the plants.
I was also hoping it'd imbue me with a bit of an Irish accent. I'm pretty sure the accents here are more than capable of convincing me to do things.
It'd also be great if there was a stone I could kiss that would make me better at driving on the left side of the tiny little roads here. After 3 days it still feels terribly awkward. I don't know if I'm going to swap mirrors with the incoming traffic or put the passenger side of the car into the rhubarb. So far neither has occurred. I hope I can keep it that way.
