Ahhhh . . . Cork! I loved it there because after Valentia Island I needed to see trees. Kerry is so desolate and sad. And yet after hours of tiny winding roads and arriving in Cork City, as excited as I was I could hardly get out of the car because I was just recovering from the flu and was so weak I could not walk even though I wanted to so badly. So we all got back in the car and drove back to the island. Hours more. Everyone was sad. I went back to bed and Mr. Grainne went down to the pub and brought me back some fish and chips, except the fish was so strange . . . fresh but sort of a shiny green color. It was another week before I got my strength back. By then we were staying at a cottage in Wicklow, all the birds chirping so loudly they awoke us very early, daffodils everywhere. I discovered Templebar, and was finally strong and happy. We went to the Hotel Clarence, the hotel U2 owns, and Mr. Grainne is such a fan he was shooting photos of the ferns in the lobby, mortifying me and Grainnette, until security chased us away. We went to the Viking exhibition, and I loved the old carved combs excavated from the 7th century trash middens at the edge of the original Dublin settlement . . . now I want to go back to Cork.
