Cork





We spent our first night in Ireland in a Southern city, Cork. Very nice, busy downtown with fun things like an English Market and a four-faced liar clock (the east and west sides disagree with each other about the actual time.) Nearby is Blarney castle with the famous blarney stone. We did not kiss the stone (we believed the local rumor that the locals will pee on the stone with delight), but had a fantastic time roaming the grounds. It is huge; lots of beautiful paths, caves, a poison garden, a fantastic place to visit!
