One of our goals for this year is to get out and see more of Ireland.  So, going back many months, to chilly February, we took a weekend trip down south to Cork. In order to get out and see Ireland, you have to just go.  Last year we made the mistake of waiting for nice weather, which doesn't really work here.  Now we know, and off we went - heading south to Cork with our friends Abby & Brandon.  The trip was loosely planed around a Craft Beer Festival at a local brewery, The Franciscan Well. First stop was at about the halfway point, The Rock of Cashel.   My photos don't really do it justice, but check out this Google Image Link .  It's a super old heritage site that served as the seat of the King of Munster at one point in time, long, long ago.

Brian and I were in Paris just over a year ago on our honeymoon.  On that trip we saw all the must sees - the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Musee D'Orsay.  We saw Notre Dame, Sacre-Coeur, and everything in between.  We exhausted ourselves from walking everywhere and fighting crowds.  So a few months ago, when we booked a weekend trip back, we couldn't wait to go and just enjoy the city. We had a fantastic weekend of breakfasting on croissants, strolling the streets, admiring the architecture, exploring some new neighborhoods and enjoying life in Paris. Happy to be back in Paris!
