We went to Cork and Cobh for our anniversary and the new year. We have a new found appreciation for Cork; it has a university feel as it is home to University College Cork, it's cheaper than Dublin, it is the 3rd largest city in Ireland (behind Dublin and Belfast), and has the 2nd largest natural port in the world (behind Australia).
A side street in Cork. There were so many cute little (affordable) bistros.
The former Beamish brewery. When tried to have a tour, we were told Heineken recently bought them out and they no longer give tours :(
Unfortunately we were in Cobh for the new year and were unable to attend "Freakscene" :)

These Hillbilly's Fried Chicken restaurants are all over Cork; never tried it but got a picture.

Rob carving the turkey and Katie, the only other American (from Texas) is standing up. Katie is in the same master's program as Rob.
Baby Alastair and his mom Marilyn (from Canada) holding him. Rob's boss at work, Caroline, is on the right, and Siobhan is sitting in the cushy chair on the left.
