irish time is sneaky

A note on how deceptive time in Ireland is...

Been feeling a bit jet-lagged still, and it seriously stays dusky outside until 10:30p.m. How crazy!
Went for dinner at a pub called South Pole in, had a lovely meaty meal for under 10 euro. Salt and vinegar chips rock, as do burgers after a day of hiking.
After dinner we went down to a pub called the "Randy Leprochan," and it may have well be the Wibs of Annescaul. Leave it to us to find bars like that accidently. (For those who don't know, Wibs is a Ship bar that is always choc full of metro-sexuals and crazy ditzy people. It is really expensive, but it's one of those places that you always end up ending up at.)

After drinking the most delicious drink ever (BULMERS) we headed out and went to a smaller pub. Had a Bailey's on the rocks, and ordered an Irish coffee. (which, ps. does NOT have Bailey's in it. A true Irish coffee consists of Jameson, coffee, cream and brown sugar)

So while it's interesting to learn that we indeed do have accents (two words out of our mouths and it's all "where from the states are you all from?") we do try and maintain some decorum, for example NOT ordering a carbomb.

Jen told us that ordering a carbomb in Ireland would be like going to Manhattan and ordering a "flaming tower" at a bar. Touche.
