Yesterday we went to Cork which is Ireland's second largest city. Did pretty well in city traffic only got turned around a couple of times. Found a parking garage in the center of town and headed to The English Market. This is a much smaller version of Pike Place Market in Seattle. Hard to believe I didn't buy anything but I am using up what we have since we only have a few more days here. I wish we had something like this in Arizona. We also drove to Cobh (was called Queenstown when the Titantic sailed from there). Had lunch and visited the gift shop. Didn't do the paid tour, tho.
The top picture is of my new best friend who offered me an Irish coffee as soon as I walked in to their store. Betty is her name and the store is Macken of Ireland just outside of Killarney. She was absolutely delightful and that was the best 63.45 Euro Irish coffee I've ever had (bought 2 scarves)! Betty knows how to sell.
2 days until we head to Shannon Airport for home. Didn't we just arrive?
Slan go Foill
