RICHARDSONS
Eyre Square,Galway
I entered a pub called RICHARDSONS, which was next to Kennedy Park. It was quite a bit bigger than it looked from outside and there were about 5 people. There was a barman in a black short-sleeved T-shirt behind the counter. I said first, "I'd like lunch." and sat. There was a menu and I found 'Irish breakfast' on it. I guess I didn't have any choice so I ordered it! But I wondered if I could order it at noon and I fearfully asked aoubt it. However the barman told me that there was no problem. It was interesting!
right:An Irish Breakfast consisting of sausages, black and white pudding, bacon and fried eggs, served with toast or traditional brown soda bread.

Mcguire's Bar
I crossed a brige over the River Corrib and went to a tiny pub with Nuria. Nuria was a friend of mine and we met on the bus tour to Cliffs of Moher the other day. There was a small counter and 4 or 5 tables, it was quite small. The men who looked like regulars drank and played cards at the counter. We made small talk and conversation by writing for a hour and we were excited. ...But I began to think that I had become a daily drinker in Ireland...

The Quay's
Quay street,Galway
I went to a pub called Quays, which was near The Kings Head. It was quite spacious. There was display which had a variety of food. I pointed to some dishes that I wanted and ordered. A staff member put my order on a big plate and gave me the plate which was full of food. "I'm not a big eater!!" There was no way I could eat everything! Even if I was very hungry, I still wouldn't eat everything! I ate it while thinking "Is this typical Irish style??" ....I couldn't eat everything. Of course I left some room for Guinness. After lunch, I drank it at the counter near the entrance and I took it easy for while. I felt that I was getting used to being in a pub.
