Today was our first day in Dublin. We arrived at the Davenport Hotel in late morning (here’s a shot):
We walked toward Grafton Street and stopped at the Porterhouse Pub as our first gastronomic destination. It was an odd combination of the familiar and the foreign. We don’t tend to eat at pub-style joints in Chicago (we used to do the Rock Bottom, but the kids started to feel uncomfortable at the adult vibe there as they got older), but the menu and modes (tall menus, waitress, etc.) were familiar. We ordered burgers. Kids loved the fries. Burger was fine. Pub food!
Next we took a gander at a street performer—Tremendous Trevor, the unicycling juggler.
Funny to think that we’re more amenable to stop and watch a street show when you’re not at home.
