Happy St. Martin's Day!!!

Never heard of it? Don't be embarrassed, it's only the cutest holiday ever. Kids make paper lanterns and walk around the streets singing songs at night. As for who the hell St. Martin is, all I can piece together is that he gave a piece of his cloak to someone who was cold. Yeah, that's right, not even the whole thing, a piece. I guess it doesn't take much in these times to be a saint.
Ok, so back in blog land we're still in Ireland driving around in this rental car. Next stop? You'll never guess.
Ok, it's a castle. Castle Count: 8
To be honest I have no recollection of what this one was called or why we went there. I guess it was just on the way.
It looks pretty cool though, buried in the forest like that. Most castles tend to be in places of prominence, you know, so they can rule over things. Maybe the king of the jungle lived here (a lion?).
