Cobh (the port for Waterford Crystal)

Read Time:54 Second

2017-06-08 12.12.02Yeah, yeah, it's Ireland and very historic and unnaturally green.  So how do we get to where they make Waterford crystal?

We really enjoyed the tour of the factory, where we got to see all the amazing work they do, and picked up an ornament for the tree (no, not the monster Jamie is posing with!)   2017-06-08 15.34.09Had a stop later near an old castle, and C&P and I had a nice walk in the rain.  

Then back at the pier noticed that the Crystal Symphony we were on in November 2001 was just pulling out of the port at Cobh (incidentally the last port call made by Titanic 146ee6dbf50ee1f8d498e08479f9095eas shown in this, the last photo taken of the ship before its sinking, taken from the same location).  So naturally I got a picture of it with our summer 2002 twins Parker and Collin.   2017-06-08 17.20.24One day they'll do the math on this picture and be really grossed out, but until then, it's just an interesting photo.
