Friday night in Slane, so we thought we'd drift up to the village to see a bit of Irish pub culture. Now, bear in mind we are talking about a one intersection village (four small bits of road joined together). So there we were getting our bearings when we were accosted by 6 likely lads asking us where they could get something to eat! Duh! Anyway we explained we weren't local and off they went. We found 6 pubs/taverns/hotels in a row and so chose one. Rod ordered a couple of glasses of Savignon Blanc, the barman perused his beers carefully before disappearing out the back. He emerged somewhat embarrased a few minutes later and said "Oi have cabernet sauvignon or chardonnay" we opted for a pint of Guiness - yum!! Definitely the go in this part of the world. We decided after a pint we better head home, ran into our likely lads and asked if they had got something to eat...they said they had got lost!!!!!!! (In a one intersection village?). They said they'd had a bacon and potatoe sandwich, we said "wow! where did you get that?" "We brought it with us" they said!!!!! After that they gave Rod the bro' handshake and a hug, wished us a happy time in Ireland and we all staggered off. Does one pub constitute a 'crawl'????
