On the way to Cork

Today we boarded a train for Cork, stop 2 on our tour of Ireland. The train ride was awesome, got to see a lot of the country side from the comfort of dry cushy seats. It's crazy how many ruins there are here. Just random centuries old walls sticking up out of the pasture land, cemeteries that have the remains of old abbeys crumbling in the midst of them. Makes me sad to see such cool places in such disrepair, but to the Irish most of these sites are the norm...nothing spectacular. Cork looks pretty cool so far but as it's rather late we're saving most of the exploring for another day. We'll be here for three days before heading to Galway. Tomorrow's itinerary includes Blarney Castle, woot. Yall keep track, see if i sound more eloquent in the next blog.

Oh something fun to note, the lap top we acquired is very much a European version. Which means the keyboard is all sorts of funky. It's like playing Russian roulette trying to figure out which weird symbol will give you a comma or @ symbol ^_^.

More pics up too, a not so cool thing about this blog site is I cant post them in the actual blog and as far as I can tell organizing them into sub folders etc isn't possible.

Oh well, I'll try to make the titles as clear as possible and use the city to track which leg of the journey they are from.
