Ireland Internship: More from Cork

Today was another wonderful day in Cork. I made a new friend! She lives in my apartment complex and has lived in Cork for almost 3 years attending UCC. She is a very nice girl and is originally from China. We had a really fun day and she was able to show me around more of Cork. We went on Mardyke Walk and saw very pretty areas of the River Lee. We also heard a free concert in the park where an Irish band was playing. Then we made our way back to the city center and saw St. Peter and Paul's Church and St. Finbarr's Church. I was in awe of both of these churches. Each church is so beautiful and huge. I was able to go inside St. Peter and Paul's because there was no service and the interior was even more breathtaking than the exterior. I really enjoyed seeding these two churches up close, they were lovely. At the end of the day we went to a small fish and chips restaurant and had dinner... it was delicious. Overall it was a great day but I am so tired from all the walking. I am really looking forward to beginning my internship work with Professor Murphy on Tuesday.

Until Then...
