We're in Ireland!

A beary big hello from beautiful Ireland! Today, we toured the city of Cork in the morning. We climbed narrow steps to the top of Saint Anne's church and got an incredible view of Cork and of the North Cathedral.

During our walk, we saw lots of signs, some of which were in a strange language; Ben tried to read them but he wasn't sure what they all meant, do you know what they say?

We then walked through the English Market and looked at all the yummy things to eat, such as the great selection of delicious breads!

Later, we took the train to Cobh. Jerry and Ben had fun looking at all the scenery out of the train window.

Here we are in Cobh, isn't it beautiful? The town, harbor and cathedral looked just like a postcard. Did you know that Cobh was the last stop of the Titanic before it left for New York?

We enjoyed looking at all the boats and brightly colored homes and shops. We had a delicious picnic lunch while sitting on the dock. We also saw a huge cruise ship docked at the harbor!

So far, our trip to Ireland has been wonderful! Have you ever been to Ireland? Check back again and see where we visit next!
