Cows in Ireland-Page 2

Lunch and Snack continue around the Emerald Isle
	"Snack! We've found our Irish ancestors!!!"
	The cows take a boatride from Portmagee to Skellig Michael -- a 45-minute trip to a World Heritage Site.
	Lunch and Snack take a look at the beehive huts at the Skellig Michael monastery site, more than 600 stone steps above the surrounding ocean. "Gosh Snack, I can hardly believe people actually LIVED in these."
	The cows look down from one of the huts to a view of Little Skellig Island, the companion rock to Great Skellig.
	These are grave markers for some of the unknown monks who called Skellig Michael their home as far back as the Seventh Century.
	"Gosh Lunch, I wonder what they mean by that?"
	"Oh, I guess THAT'S what they mean." Just another obstacle on the narrow roads of Ireland.
	"Now for us cows, this is more like it!" Lunch and Snack discover a quiet pasture in Killarney National Park -- a perfect place to graze.
	Lunch and Snack find a tranquil spot next to a waterfall in Killarney National Park. The park provides a wide variety of terrain and outstanding vistas not far from the town of Killarney.
	While in Killarney, the cows get to explore another castle. At the eastern edge of Killarney National Park, Ross Castle was built in the 15th Century by one of the O'Donoghue Ross chieftans.
	Heading up the carriageway, the cows find another castle to explore. This one is Roscrea Castle in the town of Roscrea, County Tipperary.
	"Lunch, is this what the castle really looked like?" The cows discover a model of what Roscrea Castle was like back in the 1300s.
	Lunch and Snack make their way back to Dublin for a stroll along the River Liffey.
	Back to college? The cows line up for a tour of Trinity College, home of the famous Book of Kells, one of the greatest examples of illustrated manuscripts. It consists of four gospels of the Bible inscribed by monks in the early Ninth Century.
	But after a morning of manuscripts and antiquities, it's time for some refreshment! Lunch and Snack pay a visit to the Guinness Storehouse, a museum and monument to the brewing of Guinness Stout, the national beer of Ireland.
	"Is this cow heaven?" Snack rolls in a sea of barley -- a prime ingredient of beer and a wonderful bovine dinner.
	At the end of the tour, the cows sample the wares with a couple of pints of Guinness at the Gravity Bar, high above the city of Dublin.
	Upon leaving the Guinness Storehouse, the cows pay homage to St. James Gate -- the fabled door to the grounds of the Guinness Brewery.
	Time to bid Ireland a fond farewell, but it's an opportunity to depart in style. The cows board the Ulysses ferry - the largest in the world - to cross the Irish Sea to Holyhead in Wales.
