Cork Public Museum and Accidental Ice Cream

Fitzgerald Park
Yesterday Kayla, Kyla, Montana and I decided to check out the (free) Cork Public Museum and the park it's in.  The park was very beautiful with lots of grass, trees, and ducks.  It also had a very beautiful (presumably man-made) pond.

A Case Crammed with Symbols of Authority
The museum itself was pretty cool.  It had an exhibit on the Titanic (still can't believe that was 100 years ago) as Ireland was the last place the ship left.  There were also just a lot of cool items from throughout Cork and Irish history.  Literally every display case was crammed full of cool things.

The Exhibit on Travelers
My favorite part was an exhibit upstairs about the nomadic people in Ireland.  They are referred to in the exhibit as travelers.  The photographs and items were all very captivating.

After the museum we went to the cafe and got ice cream.  Well, more accurately, I was standing behind Montana contemplating what I wanted to eat when she ordered ice cream.  The woman then made two cones so I was kinda stuck.
