There are plenty of other things to do in Ireland than drinking in pubs like you say, but I reckon it's my favourite and I'd recommend it to anyone. The pubs and the atmosphere can't be beaten! Much better than going to Riverdance and kissing the Blarney Stone anyway. ;)Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712024237175327405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7387590336118749686.post-26772097906828444842007-06-06T14:41:00.000+01:002007-06-06T14:41:00.000+01:00Didn't mean to dis bowling...I just never thought ...Didn't mean to dis bowling...I just never thought of as an "American" sport. Going to Wrigley's is much closer to an "American" experience. And I figure in Ireland there are way more better things to do than spend all day in a bar. :D I'm sure I'd do typical 'touristy' things with my sparkling white tennis shoes and fanny pack. :D He!<BR/><BR/>It sounds like you enjoyed your holiday, and I hope you can come again. Next time try glow in the dark miniature golf. It rocks! :DGinafishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00887210341944643359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7387590336118749686.post-62819983702438319272007-06-06T13:23:00.000+01:002007-06-06T13:23:00.000+01:00Macoosh, I really enjoyed the ballgame, it was def...Macoosh, I really enjoyed the ballgame, it was definitely a highlight of the trip. Croke Park is a great stadium to see Gaelic football matches if you can make it...<BR/><BR/>Laurie, I agree it did remind me of Dublin, especially when you cross the bridges there and you can see bridges stretch away on both sides...but the architecture in Chicago is definitely more impressive!Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712024237175327405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7387590336118749686.post-78864625436796406142007-06-06T12:46:00.000+01:002007-06-06T12:46:00.000+01:00did you think downtown chicago looked like a littl...did you think downtown chicago looked like a little like dublin? in a way? i think it's laid out the same, with the wide street leading down to the chicago river the way upper mcconnell street leads down to the liffey.... though the bridge isn't as nice....lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055442432266567561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7387590336118749686.post-22048970666072266832007-06-06T11:58:00.000+01:002007-06-06T11:58:00.000+01:00i think you hit all the spots i want to go to when...i think you hit all the spots i want to go to when i visit. and, bowling is a good american choice but going to a ballgame (especially at wrigley) is a much better one so score you for doing both!!! i miss going to ballgames. i still have to go to a game here...be it gaelic football, football, or rugby. soon...soon.<BR/><BR/>glad you had such a great time. welcome home!Macooshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18323525845078246465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7387590336118749686.post-15823415515615946532007-06-05T23:13:00.000+01:002007-06-05T23:13:00.000+01:00Laurie, retro-cool, I like the sound of that...it ...Laurie, retro-cool, I like the sound of that...it certainly was a great evening, the place was quite slick and grownup, not like the bowling alleys here that are family places really. <BR/><BR/>Will definitely post pictures when I get them organised!Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712024237175327405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7387590336118749686.post-62761268999298140762007-06-05T23:10:00.000+01:002007-06-05T23:10:00.000+01:00post pictures! i've done all those things except g...post pictures! i've done all those things except go to wrigley field.<BR/><BR/>and don't you let ginafish dis you on the bowling thing. bowling has become very funky and cool here. sort of retro-cool.<BR/><BR/>you were being hip!lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055442432266567561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7387590336118749686.post-54242638102549143872007-06-05T21:46:00.000+01:002007-06-05T21:46:00.000+01:00Ginafish, the most American thing we could think o...Ginafish, the most American thing we could think of was going to a ballgame...but we thought bowling was pretty American too.
