We stayed home today because tomorrow is moving day. We are leaving the timeshare and going to Northern Ireland. We have laundry to do and packing of our backpacks and souvenirs.
We stopped by the local pub earlier in the week to ask about music. We were told they would have music on Saturday so we planned around that, looking forward to some more live "Trad" music.
We had dinner at home and then headed out to the pub. When we arrived we noticed someone was planning a birthday party there. We chose a table and Carrie ordered and Irish coffee and I ordered a Guiness. We chatted while waiting for the music to begin. Suddenly the entire place went quiet as the front door opened. A man walked in and most of the pub yelled "surprise!". The birthday boy had apparently arrived and the music started. They were playing a version of Wagon Wheel, a song popular on country stations at home. Huh, weird.... I decided to go check out the band and found... a DJ.... Apparently we hadn't been specific when we asked about music night. We were looking for a live band, playing traditional Irish music like we had heard a few nights before. What we got was a DJ playing American country music. Drink up Carrie, lets go home.
