My First Dinner in Ireland: Beef and Guinness Stew and A Budweiser
And Dessert...Well, after the last post I went out to find a bite to eat. Along the way, I stopped for a spot of shopping. Just browsing, mostly. There are tons of nice souvenir shops with lovely traditional Celtic music playing. I tried to find a Quann family crest for Kara, but to no avail. Speaking of Kara, she would absolutely have a fit here in Dublin! She always thinks that I take huge risks as a jay-walker, but man! the people here are a million times worse than I am!
I am feeling very fortunate to be here in Ireland, especially so soon after having been to Sweden and Iceland. As I was bussing my way into the city this morning, I thought the Irish would say that I am "so feckin' blessed" to be here!
I found a nice-looking restaurant near my hotel and ventured inside. I tried to order a Harp beer, but they didn't carry it, so instead I got a Budweiser. For my meal, steak and Guinness pie, with a side mashed potatoes and mashed carrots. And for dessert, fresh apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Man, was that ever good!
After that intake of alcohol and sugar, my jet lag is much, much worse. But it is close to 9:00 p.m., so I figure I can read for a bit, or watch some TV and then call it an early night. Troy was telling me that it rained cats and dogs two days in a row, but today was a nice, sunny day (13C). They are expecting more of the same for the next three days. I'll take it!
Good night, John-Boy!
