Ennis

Ennis is a wonderful town, typical of narrow streets (and sidewalks) lined with colorful buildings and lots of traffic.  Tucked here and there are the many little places to eat, down alley's and around corners - you just have to walk around until one strikes your fancy and you are hit with their ambience that say's STOP HERE.  These are the spots we look for in each town.  We found such a place on our firs day the "Ennis Gourmet Store".  Owner Dave joined us for a brief moment before serving up our wonderful sandwiches, tea and Americana coffee.  Sitting outside watching the constant parade of people, children and pets hearing that Irish brogue - it's a delightful thing to do.  If you are attentive enough you'll also find those weird little sculptures and statues.   You know me, I love to find the unusual everywhere we go; Ennis did not disappoint.

Night-time is pub-time and in Ennis we visited Cruises Pub for our evening meal & entertainment. In order to get a good seat you have to time your arrival and meal just right.  So proud of ourselves, we did just that.  Tonight there were only two gals playing, one on a squeeze box and the other played the violin - they played well and gave us delightful Irish jigs for a good hour (while we sipped our Smithwicks).
