Spent Sunday in Tramore with Keith, Jayme, and Keith’s niece.  Got lunch at a small bar there.  It was Mother’s Day which we hadn’t realized so the first few places we stopped into were packed.  Boiled bacon with mashed potatoes and parsley sauce.  Didn’t really know what to expect but not bad.  I was expecting the bacon to be saltier but none of the bacon I’ve had here has really been very salty.  It was just like boiled ham which I’ve had before.  Had a bite of Jayme’s burger and it was different from what I expected.  Just tasted different and the meat seemed different somehow.   Afterwards we went on down towards the beach for a little bit.  Was kind of cold but there were a handful of people in the water.  Felt sorry for the kid who must’ve lost a bet and was forced to wade out into the freezing water with just his jeans on.  Later on in the day we went to Keith’s parent’s place for dinner.  Chinese food.  Someone told me once before I left, “If you want good Irish food, get Chinese.”  Prawn crackers are pretty awesome by the way.
