The sitting room of our Milestone B and B, in Dingle, is quickly becoming the place to hang after dinner. Especially as we sip slowly on our triple distilled, 6 year in the barrel, smooth as silk Jameson!
Here's the whole story...Ann realized that we could buy the Ireland discount booklet for the price of an entry into the Jameson Distillery. The benefit to the holder is a two for one price at each of the tourist attractions around the island. So we paid the 13 euros for the booklet and only had to pay 13 euros (instead of 26) to participate in the tour. When the tour ended, they asked for volunteers to compare Irish Whiskey to Scotch Whiskey to American Whiskey (Jack Daniel's Bourbon). Since I was driving, and did I mention a stick shift with my left hand on the opposite side of the road...I chose not to volunteer. BUT Peggy and Jon did get selected. This meant they received 3 shots of those aforementioned beverages each, AND they still were intitled to 1 shot as part of the original entry fee. Not only that, each coupon book earned a free shot of whiskey also. There we sat, after the tasting, with 6 additional, free, untouched shots of jameson whiskey, and the dilemma of what to do with them. Obviously, tossing them out would be foolish, and in Ireland probably punishable by death...so we looked for the closest carrying case we could find...an empty bottle of coke. So now, two days later, in the comfort of our b and b sitting room, after a sumptuous seafood dinner, we can relax and each sip a bit on what is quickly becoming a very empty bottle of coke :)
I'm slightly concerned about this given that I soubt my parents have ever touched the stuff. Hopefully they were well behaved, I take no responsability for my mother's actions.

ReplyDeleteYou gotta give the day count on your posts. What Day out of the 18 is it? Are you on day six? It all depends how you count the first travel day.
