Limerick!

Limerick, also known as "Stab City", is located in the West of Ireland. It is known as "Stab City" because of an ongoing feud between two families, where legend has it, they used to stab each other. Though the city is known for being violent, I found nothing of the sort. The people were friendly, though their accents were difficult to understand! One taxi driver gave us a tour of the city, recommended us a wonderful underground restaurant and got us into an exclusive night club. Limerick was tons of fun!

We also visited two castles: King John's Castle and Bunratty Castle. Both were magnificent, but my favorite by far was Bunratty Castle. Bunratty Castle is surrounded by a recreation of an old medieval village, which was filled with little shops and farm animals! The view from the top of the castle was one of the most spectacular and beautiful things I have ever seen. And we also had a medieval dinner in Bunratty Castle, which was quite fun.

The pictures really speak for themselves, so here they are:
