Finally tried Guinness

This may be heresy, but all I can say is "meh".
The "full Irish"

Now we are off for our bike tour of Dublin.
St Patrick's Cathedral

Sarah McCabeRussell is holding the six pack thing they used to deliver condiments and utensils. We didn’t try the HP sauce. It just looked like brown.
Another night, another tapas dinner

We are planning on eating more traditional Irish food going forward, so we want to experience other options while we have the chance.
