Holy crap it's good! I've ate my way through each stop and am just loving it. They have this de
ssert here called Sticky Toffee pudding and it's actually cake with this warm dripping toffee on the top and cream of some sort...I could die after eating that and feel like all is right with the world. I might have to find it in every town we stop in and become the "authority" of sticky toffees in Ireland!The Duke in Warrenpoint seems to be one of the popular hang outs and we have "visited" there every day for a pint so far.
Richard's cousin owns the coffee shop here in town, Heatley's coffee and so when he walked in to meet us everyone instantly knew that Richard was "connected" in some way. The Irish are funny and so curious about who is new
in town, I guess no different in any small town but here it seemed more enthusiastic.
The fish and chips...yum! I'm still on the hunt for some Irish stew now, but I have a few days left here. I love it here, even the cold wet windy climate they have during fall. The hillsides, the lush green and the quiet...Mother Nature can sweep away almost anything in weather like this that troubles you. But really I think it's the hospitality and the genuine warmth you feel from the people of Ireland. It makes me sad to leave here.
Sounds like my kinda place!
