I'm not Irish, and yet I love the homey vibe of a pub. Methinks you're not really Irish after all. ;-)Laura Martonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131901155051433491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-39073480832587382632010-03-23T12:48:28.826-07:002010-03-23T12:48:28.826-07:00Despite my Irish heritage, I've never been in ...Despite my Irish heritage, I've never been in an Irish pub (you know, not being a big drinker, or bar goes) -- I guess they'll have to revoke my membership.Joshua McCunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367262185912463258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-87207580987018896322010-03-23T01:15:29.672-07:002010-03-23T01:15:29.672-07:00You're awesome Laura.

Somehow, they always make me feel at home, which is a good thing in a foreign land. :-)Laura Martonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131901155051433491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-54532500395384710942010-03-20T04:19:36.644-07:002010-03-20T04:19:36.644-07:00I know a great Irish Pub in Paderborn, Germany.

It's called Limericks but that's the only cliché involved with this pub. <br />The bloke who runs it, Gareth, is a top guy who single handedly brought Ireland to Paderborn. <br />The majority of the German guests speak English to the bar staff, who are all German by the way and the regulars have all picked up a soft brogue that I find so very endearing.<br />I live two and a half hours away so I don't get there often, however, when I am in Padders I make the effort and spend a night with Gar, Freddy and the rest of the crew.<br />Here's a link:<br />http://www.limericks-paderborn.de/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=4R.R.Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17834582008567973188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-83622540313317442222010-03-20T02:08:06.837-07:002010-03-20T02:08:06.837-07:00Fun and unproductive, Donna?

Dan and I keep talking about the fact that we need a month-long vacation somewhere where cell phones and laptops are banned.<br /><br />Anyhoo, thanks for stopping by CIC - and no worries about not posting. You're not the only one these days!<br /><br />Take care! Sounds like you deserve a break, too. ;-)Laura Martonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131901155051433491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-73344624709161997572010-03-18T18:43:36.807-07:002010-03-18T18:43:36.807-07:00Hope your day was fun and unproductive - you need ...Hope your day was fun and unproductive - you need one or two of those.<br /><br />I stopped by CIC, but didn't post anything because I was too tired work out a comment.

Hey, Beck...Thanks, L.T.! It's good to see you!<br /><br />Hey, Becky! Well, I've been to the one in San Fran, but I'm eager to see the Portland/Seattle ones... maybe when I come to visit you one of these days! And, as for Pat O's, yeah, I thought about that - but it doesn't really have an Irish pub feel - what with the piano bar, the flaming fountain in the courtyard, the giant hurricane drinks, and all the drunk tourists. But it's still a fun place, for sure!<br /><br />P.S. Have fun with your mom! Hope she enjoys her stay in the north.Laura Martonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131901155051433491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-3507557615589381262010-03-17T10:56:26.696-07:002010-03-17T10:56:26.696-07:00Right back at you!

Have fun this week-end. My mom's coming today to see us in Pendleton!!! Probably no bar-hopping for us though ;-).Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436825220887971278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-30639530958612564782010-03-17T09:08:41.030-07:002010-03-17T09:08:41.030-07:00Glad the FL Keys guide book is going well!
