Thought we were going to drive to Wine Country today but woke up to gray skies threatening rain. Opted to explore downtown Menlo Park instead. Found and patronized a coffee shop, a yarn shop, a fabric store, and a book store. Once we had reached our limit of dodging raindrops we settled in at Lou’s for an evening of cards, reading, and knitting.
For our first adventure together on the Emerald Isle, we walked the streets of Cobh, County Cork, explored St Colman’s Cathedral, and visited the Cobh Heritage Center.
