Ennis, County Clare
We drove from Galway down to the small town of
Ennis and put our car in a public car park. We checked into the Queen's Hotel
on Abbey Street. The site was a setting in James's Joyce's
Ulysses.
After checking into our room,
we headed down to the pub attached to the hotel. I had my second pint of
Guinness (yum!) and Diane had her first Bulmer's hard apple cider. This was a
good thing for her since we could drink and be equally paced since we both had
pints
We walked around the town and ate
dinner at Brogan's on O'Connell Street, a few blocks from our hotel. Most
excellent food. Diane had a funky mixed salad and some locally farmed salmon.
I had Irish West Coast mussels, probably the best I ever had, for an appetizer.
Then I ate a chicken curry (also one of the best ever) for dinner. I had my
third Guinness at dinner!
