On Saturday, I decided to take the day to wander around the City of Limerick. We are advised to not walk around the city center alone at night, but during the day, it is quite safe. There are people everywhere walking dogs, playing in parks, and shopping in the main shopping district. Every weekend in the city center, a variety of markets are held - the Milk Market is the most famous, which takes place every Saturday. You can buy fresh, in-season produce, breads, juices, chocolate, and much more! Some of my friends went to the market this weekend and said it was awesome. I plan to go next weekend!

This past weekend, I decided to spend my time walking along the waterfront of the Shannon River, snapping photos of all of the historic sights and landscapes. Here are some pictures!
*I have been pleasantly surprised by the weather. While it tends to be cold in the morning and late at night, days are normally in the 50s and 60s (Fahrenheit) and the sun has come out quite a bit!
