Cork!

Today was our full day in cork so we had to make the most of it! We got up as had breakfast in the hotel and then headed into town to catch the bus to blarney castle. As we pulled up, of course, it started raining! But really what would a trip to Ireland be without rain! It was interesting seeing the grounds again at a different time of year. The

Castle was lovely with a cloudy sky and the grounds were a pretty as ever. We wandered around the grounds and went to the top of the castle and kel and mom kissed the Blarney Stone (and hopefully didn't get herpes) and then we wandered around a bit more, had a snack at the cafe and went to the woollen mills, which is a huge Irish shopping store thing. Then we caught the bus back and hung out I the room a bit and packed and watched the first half of the US Germany game. Then we went to lungi malones for dinner because it was across the way from the opera house. After dinner we went to see Lee Evans, an English comedian. I thougt he was really funny, mom and kel had a hard time understanding him, but it was definitely something unique to do here! Last time I came I saw a play, so it was nice to go back to the opera house again.
