Cork is a beautiful city filled with colorful places and even more interesting people, but one place that has grabbed my attention recently is the Buttercup Cafe across from the Cork Butter Museum
Many of you might remember a post I put up awhile ago from our first visit there...
Well, that day we made a pact, more or less, to make a point to hang out on Fridays/weekends from there on out--to keep in touch and have fun. We planned on returning to Buttercup for breakfast next Friday morning, and this post is the result of that.
I met Michelle at the Music Department across the River from my apartment when her Trad. Irish Dance class got out and we walked down the hill towards the city center because we were to meet Leo at the cinema in half an hour-ish...It didn't take nearly that long to walk there though, so we ambled up and down the river to pass the time, Michelle skipping about practicing her dancing. Good times. The first few pictures of this post are from that walk.
Having not eaten all day, I was quite hungry and ordered a whole meal...
Leo and Michelle both ordered a mini traditional Irish Breakfast: eggs, toast, sausage, bacon, and black pudding... I was asked to describe black pudding--my only experience with such being from 7 years ago when I ordered an Irish breakfast as my first meal for my first ever visit to Ireland. I was expecting chocolate pudding...the sweet custard-like stuff, not THAT. I didn't remember much, other than I wasn't a fan.

Another fun morning in Cork!
One of these days I will post an entire blog entry of nothing but the cool graffiti and the awesome buildings and doors seen around Cork/Ireland...
When Michelle and I were returning to my apartment I stopped in the 02 store to change the plan on my phone. These two sweetie-pies were there and Michelle had a ball (no pun intended) playing with the puppies while she patiently waited for me.
And we went inside Dealz, intending to get some supplies for the apartment and possibly a snack, but ended up getting cocoa mix and My Little Pony coloring books...I regret nothing.
oh, right. Along with the coloring books I got some lollies. When I unwrapped this one, Michelle didn't even skip a beat, "it's a Packer's lollipop!". Why yes, yes it is...
Another one of our traditions now is to meet for nosh and coffee after our archaeology class on Wednesdays with dinner at my place before Med-Ren.
I will be posting pictures from the archaeology field trip soon as well...
Looking out the window I thought a sprinkler was on or a hose left unattended from the construction site nearby because it was sunny out, it didn't look like rain. Apparently I was wrong, because when we got outside we saw this!
Apparently I should also make a blog-post with nothing but rainbow pictures, Lord knows I have many of 'em.
So second semester has started out quite nicely. ^_^
