Killarney to Cork July 23,2006







Drove to Cobh (Cove or Queenstown) which was a major departure point for America:  the Lusitania and Titanic left from here which is the second largest natural bay in the world. It was called Cove until Queen Victoria visited and then it was called Queenstown.  After independence, they decided to go back to "Cove" but gave it a Gaelic spelling.

After a walking tour with Michael Martin, we drove to our beautiful Imperial Hotel.  Our room was beautiful where we could check the internet with a remote keyboard.  This is a historic hotel with antiques in the hall.  Click here for a link.

Between Two Worlds

Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.

This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
