My gift of Eloquence in County Cork!

They say if you come to Ireland you have to go to the Blarney Stone! Myself my friend Ashley and Alycie planned a trip to County Cork. It was so nice meeting another Bonaventure student in Ireland! Alycie took a bus from Limerick where she studies and I took a bus from Galway, and both of us met at the bus station in Cork. Our first day in Cork we went to St. Anne's Church and even had the chance to play the Bells of Shandon!

After going to St. Anne's we walked around Cork City. I really enjoyed it especially because there was Christmas trees lit everywhere and Christmas music playing on the streets. I never experienced the feel of Christmas time anywhere else but New York. We spent some time shopping and went to a pub for dinner. The next morning we got up early and got a bus to The Blarney Castle! It was beautiful..

I had such a great time in Cork! It was such a pretty county and lots to do. It was nice meeting Alycie as well and I am so happy I got to the Blarney Stone :)
