A Low-Key Evening in Ireland

[kybearfuzz]

Craving the familiar...

There is a shortage of restaurants here near the hotel. I was too tired to walk around for another evening, so I found a local Pizza Hut and decided to have at it. The place was full of American airline flight attendents. If only they were cute ones like blueeyedbear and his hubby. Sigh... One of the great drawbacks about traveling with my job is that most of the time you travel alone. It's one of the reasons I try to meet folks on 411 or LJ, not for hooking up, but rather to have someone show me the area or to have dinner with. Being solo on the road can get lonely after a while and crave basic company.

Ah, enough of that... demcub said I should take some pics to get some town flavor, so here are a few random points with photos:

• Sunsets are amazing here, they occur about 10:30 PM at night. This is the sunset from my hotel room last night.
  
• The area is really family oriented. Kids just bike around and play ball in the parking lot and in front of the grocery. I got a good shot of a soccer kick.
  
• I saw this scooter for delivering pizza at the local Pizza Hut. For some reason, it just struck me as funny. As if delivering pizzas in a car isn't probably difficult enough.

Well, I have to say I don't think I would go all the way to Ireland and eat pizza, but then I love to eat and, particularly, eat when I travel. Still, after a while, I am sure I'd be curious how things like pizza and hamburgers in another country compare to the states.

I agree that traveling alone is not as fun. The times I had a co-worker (or co-workers) with me, it was more fun eating out. I've ordered room service when by myself, even though it was much more expensive than most any restaurant I could have gone to.

Glad you shared the pics with us!
