Pub Adventures

We were looking for the Cobblestone. We got very lost. 'Round 10:30 after asking about four different people for directions we decided to call it quits and try again the next night. Stopped by some place called the Brazen Head as we happened to drive past it.
was a little bit strange with a bunch of guys playing what sounded more like American Bluegrass then Traditional Irish
Turns out we were only a couple blocks from the Cobblestone. Using extensive research on googlemaps, interrogating a taxi driver, and remembering the route to the Brazen Head, we had a remarkable smooth journey into Dublin and pulled up right outside the Cobblestone.
There were some very good fiddlers.

Funny thing I noticed is that there are no street signs. So Googlemapping the route doesn't really help because you can't turn right on King street if you don't know which one is King street. Best just to count the turns and go with the flow. Doesn't really matter how you get there as long as you do right?

hmm. . .

I wonder . . .


does the fact that I prefer to climb mountains rather than sit around in pubs make me rather antisocial?


hmm . . .


well, I dunno


but the mountains certainly have better views.

(the pub is in Dingle the mountains are Wicklow Mountains National Park)
