Well I was planning on heading to Cork today on the bus...and after waiting over an hour for its late arrival, I was informed that the bus route to Cork was shut down by the police. So I'm back at the hostel for another night and think I'm going to just head all the way to Killarney tomorrow on the bus, if the roads aren't bad and the busses are running. There has been lots of snow fall and cold temperatures here in Ireland, something that has even made this Wisconsin boy chilly. So tonight looks like it will be another night to sit in by the fire with a pint and curl up with a book or a movie. I guess I can't complain about a bus not running when this is my other option :-)
It was snowing hard, and still is, so I went out and took a few pictures of this lovely city. On the way back I stopped in at Cleeres Pub for a pint of the black stuff and ended up talking to a couple older guys for about 20 minutes. Such interesting guys and so genuinely nice and engaging...the people here are just incredibly nice and want to talk with you and share stories and experiences and it's something that makes a lad feel right at home. Now they also said when I pass through I'm to stop back in for a pint with them- I think I'll do that.
Awesome pics!!
