We arrived in Cork, southwest Ireland, by the train so I got to see the snow covered fields. Some green, and even a few cows haha
Cork is the 2 nd largest city in Ireland but it has a small town feel to it. It has lots of lights and Christmas cheer as you wander the streets. We walked all over, although many places were closed due to it being Sunday and the ground was literally frozen. We still walked and walked, out all the way to the college and it is the cutest little school with a stream and moss covered bridges next to the stone buildings. The art gallery there was vcery modern art and definitely not my taste. I don´t know if those students are really going anywhere in art… but it was a nice part of town and we found a park afterwards. The pond/ fountain there was frozen over except a little part around the fountain’ it´s so cool! That there tells you how cold it was, frozen ground, ice everywhere even though there was no snow.
In the evening we went out to hear a local folk rockfish musician play above a pub, Naill Connoley. He was very good! And everyone there seemed to know him- more like a community show than anything else. The Irish in general are just very nice, warm, chatty people. I think Spain could learn a little from them…
