so i had 4 absolutely wonderful days in cork. i was shocked that i was there for 4 days of sun. yes - it did not rain a drop when i was in cork. i was flabbergasted. but the sunshine in cork was glorious as there is nothing nicer than a sunny ireland. so i'm back in the states now and gearing up for some more travel (details to come) let's just say my life is crazy. i'm loving this year because it is turning out to be what i said a year of fun and travel with some work in there. but crazy.
so about ireland. it was like coming home. i hung out with my friends, popped into work, and honestly it felt like a normal week. ate soo much food, bought ballet flats & tights, drank tons of tea, frolicked about my favorite place and just enjoyed being in cork. ending my trip in cork was the right thing to do.

the trip back to cork made me remember my love for ireland - i could go on and on about it. check out the archives for more irish talk. and it just felt so normal. so happy to finally go back after almost two years and i can't wait to visit again.
so i'm back in the states and it was a great trip :) i'm writing a wrap up about everything and just so glad i said i need to go to europe and booked it. and traveled for 3 weeks by myself. lots of crazy going on - but hey just more fun to write about :)
how was your weekend?

Cork looks absolutely gorgeous in your pictures. Ireland holds the top spot on my travel list and this just makes me want to go more. I'm so glad you were able to go back, and truly impressed that you traveled alone...I don't know if I could do that. What an experience! Thanks for taking us along with you. :-)
that hot chocolate looks delicious. and ireland just looks wonderful. i can't wait until i get to go.
Oh yay, glad you're back safely! Can't wait for the wrap up!
I love it! So glad you felt right back at home. You've got me homesick now.
