Dublin, "The Farm", and Cork to ComeEntry #676111
No Madleen.  She either got busy or her friends talked her out of going out on the town with two strangers (understandable).  Jet lag had taken it's toll and we got a late start, so we took to the streets of Dublin proper.  One highlight was a place called "The Farm" on Grafton Street, I think.  What a find!  Their whole schtick was local and organic fare.  It was fantastic stuff:  the cheese plate, the wild mushroom soup, roast duck/butternut squash, all the way to the final push, rhubarb pie and organic local ale.  Ideas for our Thanksgiving feast came on like wildfire (that rhubarb pie not the least among them).

We returned to the hotel late and spent a couple of hours booking our Cork trip for the following day.  It ought to be fun.  Catch the early morning train, then the LUAS to the main rail station, the 0900 out of the city, and finally, the culinary capital of Ireland is at hand (we coaxed a few places of interest out of one of our pub waitresses who happened to be from there).  I'm curious to see how it got the honor, seeing how in my experience, Dublin is a world class city foodwise.

We shall see.
