On my visit to Cork, we hung out in this pub and listened to hours of traditional music and chatted with the locals. The accent there is VERY difficult to understand, but they were lovely people!
Antique styled tea place in Cork city! It was so cute. We had breakfast here one morning during our stay in Cork
Dublin, Maynooth, Boyne Valley
Belfast, iRELAND
Belfast is a crazy city because there is still so much division! There are murals like this one, remembering the IRA members, then there are others that show the Queen of England. Walking through Belfast was very haunting because there are still "peace walls", huge, tall metal walls dividing Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods.
The "elephant in the room" is the tension between loyalties to Ireland and England
The myth: Finn MacCool (Irish hero) thought he was the biggest giant in all the land, but there was a Scottish giant Benandonner who was way huger than Finn. There is a part of the causeway in Scotland too because Finn used it to get to Benandonner, so that's pretty cool!
We didn't even fall off!
Howth, iRELAND
Howth is a coastal town East of Dublin
