Cork Day 1

I'm in Cork today... the bustle of the past week has made me very tired so when I got to my new hostel today I took a nap. Perhaps it was because it was a very rainy day today so I couldn't go exploring, but I'm very homesick again, which is unfortunate because it's a horrible feeling. I thought my homesickness was gone after it wore off in Dublin... I didn't expect it to come back. I hope I don't get homesick every time I change towns.

At the moment I'm thinking that a month was a bad idea.... too long. Or maybe that's just my homesickness talking. I hope that tomorrow is nice so I can go see Blarney Castle. Maybe I'll love Cork like I did Dublin... day 1 in Dublin was sad for me too. I really hope so.

I had a really good dream while I was napping, that Erin and Tess were here and we were getting ready to go out for dinner. Waking up was a big disappointment.

Sorry I'm such a bummer. Hopefully I'll be better tomorrow.

I did take a few pictures today... Cork is definitely prettier than Wexford. I'll include the ones from yesterday, too. There aren't many because I've been traveling for 80% of the past 2 days, but I took a few when I went out for dinner. Here you go...

The street my hostel was on... only one lane!

No peeing standing up!

 

View of Cork from my hostel window... by far the best view from a hostel yet.

 

The other direction... so pretty.

 

 The River Lee in Cork... not as pretty as the River Liffey, but still nice.

Department store in Cork... why do our department stores not look like this?
