We drove into cork this morning. City is exactly like manyunk. Tons of super steep hills lots of people and cars. Great shopping, upscale nice shops and restaurants. Last nights bnb lady booked our place for us tonight, said it would be wise to have something secured since it is the weekend. There are a ton of gay irish men in this town! Something I haven't seen yet! Carrying handbags and all! Boys are still on the hunt for instruments. We are in a pretty large music shop in town, they have the biggest selection of ukuleles and mandolins we have seen yet.

John bought a beautiful mandolin! It somes with a really nice case, so it will do well with the travel back to the states. Its really pretty 8 string with a golden colored body and an interesting neck and body.
