Porridge... FINALLY!!!

Katie got her porridge - after several failed attempts. Chris made an amazing breakfast spread for us and talked with us about American politics. My fried breakfast was delicious - it included black pudding - all said and done, there were sausages, bacon, eggs and two types of pudding - that's 5 meats... 5. My arteries are loudly chugging their way through this country.

We said goodbye to the folks and the dogs (Scamp and Lily) and we were off to navigate the slender roadways, up and down the hills of Kinsale to see Charles' Fort.

Then we hit the Ring of Kerry. It is absolutely stunning - very inhospitable landscapes at times. Katie has abandoned accosting people and has instead taken to scaring many forms of wildlife. Today it was sheep. She tracked them with a camera like a hunter with a shotgun. And they ran accordingly. When we arrived at the midpoint of the Ring, we found a lovely B&B with a friendly dog named Mondo - as I write, he is currently hiding from Katie... Even the sheep have fled the hillside. It's disturbing. I think our hostess even left.

We walked a little while ago and saw some amazing horses. At one point during our hike, a horse was calling to us over the hill.
