Even though life on the farm is great, I've been quickly realizing that I really am a city girl at heart. After a few days with nothing more than country walks, ice cream and Sopranos reruns to entertain us, I felt we needed an urban interlude. So, we ventured into Limerick to search for gluten free digestive biscuits (a must for the many tea breaks the Irish take), a pint of Guinness and return to sanity. We found everything we'd wanted and more.
Our host farmer, Mike, was surprised to discover how young a country Canada is. It's no wonder, considering all the marvellous history at his doorstep. Limerick is a grand mix of 13th century architecture and modern structures.

Bobby Byrne's Pub
It was here that I had my first bite of beef in almost 20 years (the Irish know how to make a burger!) |
