In the Bodega restaurant/pub

We ventured out at about 6:30 p.m. in search of a restaurant. After a 10 minute walk into the center of town -- we found the main shopping district and downtown area of Cork. It is alive with shops, people and traffic. Cork is a vibrant and interesting place. We'd stop along the way, asking some local folks about eateries. In each instance, they were helpful and friendly.

It wasn't long until we heard about the "Bodega" -- a restaurant/pub worth our consideration. After checking the menu of a couple of places we chose the Bodega as a place to have our dinner. I had  "fish and chips" while Linda had a delicious salad with a variety of cheeses. Of course, we enjoyed the obligatory "Guinness". The beer tastes a bit different here. Much more elegant and delicious.

Today we're off on some more exploration, including the "Blarney" castle. We'll see if it's true about kissing the Blarney Stone!!
