Ireland: Mary's Pub 

I flew from Edinburgh, Scotland to Dublin, Ireland on September 1st, picked up my rental car at the airport, and drove south to Wexford, near Richard Moore's place, a fellow classmate from Stanford days.  

Located Richard’s home with the help of two local guys on the street, one slightly inebriated, who first helped me close in on his apartment, but in the meantime contacting him so that he exited his apartment and met me on the street. He looked great. He helped me re-park my car directly in front of his apartment, and get my baggage into his downstairs bedroom. then we headed over to Mary’s Café, a local hangout, which was full of fun, people and music when we entered that evening. Richard was met by several there – he’s clearly a local. He had a Guinness, and I had another apple cider, and we watched them and listen to the music, I even filming a guy singing and playing the harmonica. A fun evening, and will definitely try this again.
