2nd Most Germiest Place getting a Make-over, Seattle

 

People know Seattle and the famous Pike Place Market.  It is there that fish are thrown and caught on a daily basis.

But, just a few yards away is a small alley way that comprised over a million pieces of gum.

I do believe Kathie contributed to the wall of gum.

That gum is now being washed away at a cost of $4000 dollars.  Varnish will be placed on the walls to prevent gum adhesion.  It just got too smelly in the summer time as CNN reports.

Over a million pieces of gum!
Over a million pieces of gum!

What is the number one “Germiest” place you ask?  No other than the famous Blarney Stone in Ireland.

2000 picture of us at the Blarney Castle. The stone is actually on the top level.

People kiss that stone on a daily basis, millions must have climbed around the narrow castle staircase to place a kiss on the Blarney Stone.  I have!  And, I made sure the guy that was holding me up received a tip first!

There is that dollar I gave him in his left hand, holding me up!

Legend has it that after the tourists leave; people will go up and “pee” on the wall.  And, that’s what I have heard through the gift of gab.
