Having already walked into the city center and now with nothing to do, we wandered the nearby streets, looking into shops. There was an intriguing window display that caused our whole group to take a second look at what appeared to be some very scrumptious looking pastries and green rounds of cheese. Something was definitely amiss, but I would have to venture inside to figure it out. The store, called Lush Handmade Cosmetics, featured bath soaps and body soaps shaped like food items. A confusing situation for the hungry traveller.
Afterwards, Meng made a stop at Butlers Chocolate Cafe, famed for its hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was pretty much liquid chocolate, delighting Meng very much. We also sampled some of their truffle and chocolate selection.
Walking back towards St. Patrick's Street, we passed a statue of a fireman holding a baby, only it was a living statue, painted bronze.
At this point, we ha worked up quite the appetite and so stopped at Thomond's a bar serving purportedly traditional Irish food. I got some beef stew which came with delectable honey brown soda bread.

Go raibh maith agat.

Thanks a million!
