A Day in Cork

We're in Cork tonight. There are several churches and cathedrals here, and a couple of rivers. We saw another dairy farm today that uses a Keenan mixer wagon. We also saw the Blarney castle and kissed the stone. This morning some of the students went horseback riding. While they were riding, I walked down to a national park just outside the city. There was a beautiful lake at the base of a mountain with a couple of islands in it. I kept seeing signs for a castle, so I kept walking to try and see it. Finally I decided I better head back and started running part of the way. When I got back to the city I saw a tower clock that said it was 10:10 and I was supposed to be back to the hostel at 10:10, so I sprinted up to the hostel. Then the horse riding students were 15 minutes late anyway.

I used the credit card to buy souvenirs today. You might want to make sure there is money to cover it.

We had dinner in a pub last night. They had live Irish music. It was a lot fun.


I'll tell you more about the castle and lake when I get home. I miss you. I love you.


Can I say that I am totally jealous of the live Irish music. I totally would have gotten up to do a jig! Here's to hoping he's bringing back an Irish CD :)
