being "those" American tourists

For the last three nights of this trip we've been staying in the fanciest hotel that I have ever seen, much less stayed in, Dromoland Castle. It's a total first class kind of place and I think we've been on the verge of eviction multiple times. On our first night here jparks and I were walking around with some friends from the tour when the boys apparently lost their minds and started acting like fools.

Here's jparks sporting wood:


And look, here they are molesting really old artwork:


And lost in the bushes in the front of the hotel. (You can't really tell, but the bushes are cut into a fancy design)


When we went back inside the lobby people were giving us some really dirty looks. Imagine Emily Gilmore but make her a bit more uptight and you have the kind of folks we were getting looks from. Not that I entirely blame them, but we weren't being loud, causing damage, or pestering them in any way, we were simply acting like 12 year olds. And really, every once in awhile, I think that's okay.
