The President’s Voyage is in Cork, Ireland today. Strolling through the hilly streets of Cork, you’ll find you can’t escape the constant hum of music. It’s actually the citizens of Cork. Widely regarded as the most talkative of all the Irish, Corkonians have a characteristic sing-songy cadence you’ll find intoxicating as you cross over the many graceful bridges to arrive at the Butter Exchange of 1770. Here you can admire the deft hands of local artisans weaving and cutting crystal. St. Anne’s Church, with the famous Shandon Bells, is a stone’s throw away.
