Monday, cool and nice, April 23

Hot tub followed by a morning walk as QB slept in a bit.

Wandered downtown past the University students rushing to class, row houses without address, seems to be the norm in Cork, and St Finn Bares 19th century cathedral.

The cathedral was unwelcoming with its 5 euro fee. Anglican charges, Catholics not. Cork an old City so the cathedral is sited in a place occupied by religion for over a thousand years.

Naturally there is a waterway,

QB joined at the English market, mainstay tourist attraction as well​ as a good European style market.

Brunch at liberty grill, too salty black pudding

J1 Visa:

At the grill met a server who spent several months in San Francisco working with one. Arranged by the University as a cultural exchange. Very positive experience and paid $20/hour.

Bobby caught up with us and we all headed to Blarney castle. Known for its unimpressive structure it has lovely grounds. we spent considerable time on the grounds.

A number more of excellent views on Flickr of this date.

Dinner at Greens, a high end place, with a well deserved reputation, recommended by Siobhan.

Above, beef stew molded. Yum.
