Fota Wildlife Park + Old Midleton Distillery

The kangaroos and me! I was seriously tempted to pet one, but also scared of getting kicked.


I had a faceoff with the llama in order to avenge a traumatic incident with a llama at a petting zoo at age three. I can now take back control of my life.


So close to the peacocks! Amazing.


Welcome to the Jameson Experience at the Old Distillery!


Sorry, no taps on these! From left to right, new whiskey, 3 years old (and then legal to sell in Ireland), 5-7 years old (when Jameson begins to sell it), 12 years old, and 18 years old.

The only disappointing part about his weekend was not finding any more stores with family names on them. I'm up to three Joyce/Cleary signs so far!
