Day minus 11

The Irish
I had to attend the member’s meeting so I stayed around the hotel until after lunch.
Mark was working with “the lads” as he calls them so I walked about 2 miles up the beach to the small town of Bucarias in search of the makings for sushi. The hotel told me that a market called Palacio China (China Palace) carried oriental foods. It was very hot and by the time I got there I was dripping. The market was a dud so I decided to look for an Internet cafe.
Suddenly the clouds parted and I was standing in front of the Shamrock - an Irish pub. What a crazy world. the best part was they also had free wireless Internet.
After a black and tan, I felt a lot better.
I had to take a picture of Hugh the proprietor standing in front of the map of Ireland. Of course he also had the famous Irish toast over the door. The most surprising thing was the picture of Dirty Nelly’s and Bunratty Castle on another wall. He confirmed that every Irishman knows of Dirty Nelly’s even though it is in such an obscure location. Of course the Raychem Ireland crowd knew it as it was only a few miles from the Raychem site.
