Cappuccino at the hotel and then off we went!
Side note - we have absolutely fallen in love with cappuccino while in Europe!
At the cottage Danny made them every day with fresh milk from local farms
(what a huge difference that makes) and we have reveled over all the
fun dishes and cups and creamers we have used.
Most restaurants seem to serve these rustic
looking brown sugar cubes - and now we are used to
brown sugar in our coffee too!
We ended up buying ourselves a set of two nice cappuccino cups
from a local potter in England.
Now we just need an espresso machine!!!
We stopped in at Cork's town center market just to see what that was all about.
Everyone seemed to say you just had to stop in there.
It was amazing - like the Amish market times 100.
And then on we drove up to the famous Cliffs of Moher!
All the gift shops looked like Hobbit houses
The sight was absolutely spectacular!
Breathtaking.
Then we drove on up the coast to make it to Galway.
Just a local, neighborhood castle shot from the car window
(do they realize how great their history is I wonder??)

The next pictures are from Oscars Seafood Bistro -
our first experience at a Michelin Star restaurant!
IT. WAS. INCREDIBLE.
The oysters were so fresh they still had the green moss
growing on them. They were fresh caught that day,
and served on a bed of seaweed.
Danny ordered an oyster martini - because you just had to.
It was basically a martini with an oyster in it.
The meals were incredible.
Cannot even put it into words.
I had some kind of hake that was on a bed
of sweet potato puree, with
avocado salsa and pomegranite seeds and
all these fresh greens.
Danny had some kind of monkfish with mussels
in a creamy broth
We shared a dessert that was some kind of gel pudding thing
with seaweed in it. It was kind of salty, but again
we just wanted to try something different.
Apparently the chef is also an author
After dinner we walked around downtown a little bit through the
Latin Quarter. A very "young scene" for sure.
