Today was our first trip to a bona fide Irish pub. A bar in town has live Irish music Mondays at 9 pm, so we jumped in the car and headed over. We weren't sure how pubs work in Ireland, but we eventually found our way to some seats, I ordered my first real Guinness, and we enjoyed the music. It sounded like it was right off a "Music of Ireland" album. I think there were two accordions!
After we got home, it was our first clear night and there were SO MANY STARS. I mean we are in the middle of nowhere, so there is little ambient light. It may be helpful to view the star images in a dark room.

| This was a tiny portion of the sky as captured by phone. There were hundreds of stars visible. And if you have dust on your screen, there may be even more! |

Got to find your local and establish yourself. That how you’ll keep up with what’s going on and all the local gossip.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see that you're teaching your kids responsible drinking.
