A Yankee's Corkboard: Post-finals catch-up part 1

So I know that I haven't posted any photos since the trip to Fota. I was quite distracted with preparations for my mother's visit, the Battle of Clontarf, and Final Examinations.

Now I shall attempt the impossible, the game of "catch-up" to return to current events.

Here we go!

Archery Club at UCC only had 2-3 meetings left, but now that I had Gwen (My English Longbow) with me I was going to make the best of it!

I even brought Michelle along to the last meeting for some fun!

She'll deny it, but she was a pretty good shot!

I like this picture Michelle took because of the epic hoodie of yer man standing next to be. it reads "switches be trippin'". All my engineering friends will understand it...

Walking around town with Heather after looking for fabric dye and stuff to complete or kit before the Battle of Clontarf we ran into this--an artist installation on the street--she was asking passers-by to add to the quotes about what they liked and didn't like about Cork.

For me,this was during the news of all the -50 degree weather back home, so I was simply grateful we weren't buried in snow-drifts and freezing our arses off!

My next order of business was meeting my mum in Dublin!

we mainly walked around the Christ Church and Temple Bar areas--seeing places we were familiar with from our visit 7-8 years ago.

I particularly had a new-found interest with the Fishsamble, Winetavern, and other streets associated with the Woodquay excavations as they gave quite an impressive amount of insight to Norse Dublin.

The excavations cannot be seen anymore except for the outline of a type 1 house put into the stones behind Christ church and the various plaques along the ground...
