Cork, Ireland

January 17th-20th, Brian and I went to Cork, Ireland so that I could participate in a conference.

The city is in the southwestern part of Ireland and is the second largest in the country. Cork is bisected by the Lee River; in fact the center is an island between two channels of the river.

The city is nicknamed "Rebel Cork" because of its residents' early opposition to the British Crown and 20th century support for Irish independence.
