Brazen Head

Brazen Head is the oldest pub in Ireland.  It’s even in the Guinness book of world records for this.  I was built in the 11th or 12th century (can’t recall which).  It’s definitely a unique place.

Most of the pubs have a carvery setup where you get carved ham or roast beef with potatoes, cabbage and other veggies.  I had roast beef with stuffing, mashed potatoes and roasted potatoes.  Yes, two different kinds of potatoes - the server just threw them on the plate - I didn’t even ask for 2 types of potatoes.  Oh, and the plates are huge.  I didn’t even finish my meal.

Plus I had a pint of Guinness with the lunch.  Damn, that’s a good beer here!

Otherwise, been working all day.  I went next door to the bank to get some Euros…they wouldn’t exchange $100 bills - they are  too big.  Oy!  What a pain.  I had some $20 bills.  The exchange rate sucks for us - 1.51 dollars to the Euro.  Rubbish!

Last night I slept from 9pm to 3am.  I couldn’t sleep after that so I watched tv, read email, called Steph and read my Dublin book.  I finally fell asleep at 6am only to be awoken at 8:30am when my boss called!  Oooops.
