After our stop in Cobh we stayed the night in Cork, the second biggest city in Ireland. We had a fun night out on the town with some of Richy's friends who live there! We also got to stay in a fancy hotel that Richy helped designed! Very swanky!
More of the little town.
Brian and Richy by all the big fishing boats!
Jessica and Brian had heard of this statue of a woman called Annie Murr, who was the first immigrant to go through Ellis Island in NYC. This statue points in the direction of NYC! Who knows..maybe we'll be pointing our way there next!!?!

This is a little fishing town called Cobh (pronounced Cove) This is just outside Cork on the southern coast.
This is an awkward picture is of me attempting to kiss the famous Blarney stone..legend has it, if kissed you will receive the gift of gab...funny story in the trauma of being practically baptised into wall by the random man, I ended up kissing the wall of the castle instead of the Blarney Stone...I mean I kinda thought the stone would be on a stand and you walk up and kiss it normally...not back bending to kiss a stone that isn't in sight! haha
Waiting in line to attempt to kiss the stone!
not all together sure why this pic is sideways, but my friends Jess and Brian waiting in line...they both kissed the stone!
In front of the castle! We thought we had too many pictures of the same so decided to shake things up!
Well Jessica and Brian made it to Ireland from Conway Arkansas! Richy and I had been looking forward to this trip for months!! I took some 367 pictures so I'm just putting up a few highlights! Separate Paddy's post (note Richy said why do all you Americans write Patty's day and not Paddy's day?!) Anyway we had a BRILLIANT time with Jess and Brian!! Couldn't have asked for better weather too by the way! It was sunny and actually kinda warm!! sunny and warm aren't usually words I put with Ireland! ha!
