potatoes three ways

Ahh....the beautiful Cliffs of Moher... a sunny day in Ireland....apparently a rare treat.....especially at the cliffs.  We enjoyed the Cliffs -
                                        'tis a rare sunny and beautiful day in Ireland!
                                              Peggy, Caroline & Marge

then went to Doolen for lunch. One problem with off season travel is that lots of things are closed! But somehow against all odds we managed to find a restaurant serving lunch.  And what an interesting lunch it was.....the lunch included mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes with the skins on and not to be outdone - boiled potatoes with the skins off! The server asks, "Would you like gravy?" "yes, of course" He replies "very good" as he ladles it over the meat! The meal ended with our first Irish Coffee of the day. Doolean resides by the sea and what a beautiful little seaside town it is!

                                Need to know what street you're on? Good Luck with That!

From Doolen it was on to Limerick. It took quite awhile to reach that destination because we took a side trip to Durty Nellies for a ..... you guessed it.... Irish Coffee! And it was a delight - full of fresh cream. Made it to Limerick and found out why Mary and Margaret weren't too impressed. We took a quick spin around town and then headed back to our nest in Adare. Took a  bit of a break at the carriage house and had.....lets see what did we have? Another Irish Coffee! In all honesty Marge had a boilermaker. We are taking a wee little break and then we are going out to hear some Irish Music and dance a fine jig!

an after note: we danced a fine jig at the pub last night with our 3 new friends: Sam, Magella and John. John is a single man and we thinks he has the hots for Marge!!! More to follow tomorrow....
