One of the benefits of spending several days in one area is finding favorite spots. Usually these take the form of familar sites from home and include pubs or cafes that just feel good. Places you look forward to stopping by daily. Missing our favorite cafe in Gardnerville, 88 Cups, it was only natural to migrate to Magnetic Music Cafe in Doolin. If permanent residents in Doolin, this would be our daily ritual hang. Good coffee, biscuits, conversation and an excellent vibe. The dudes serve up a very nice crumble and know who and what is playing each night in the pubs.
However, while learning to like a good cup of Irish tea is a must (always black tea, sweet and lots of cream)….my first request from Lee and Angel back home at 88 Cups will be for their perfectly brewed white tea and an everything bagel.

Howdy!
I’m sure you checked out Skip’s music store a few doors down. Can’t remember the name of it but he’s a nice guy that came visiting Doolin about 27 years ago, fell in love with it, went home to Berkeley, CA, packed his stuff up and returned to open the music store.
Also, if you’re back in Lahinch, check out Mrs. O’Brien’s Kitchen.
The problem we’re running into is that there’s too much to see and do, and we are finally now running out of time. We’ll be swinging by McGann’s tonight, but there’s also going to be a hot, young piper at McDermott’s. Sheesh.
The really good news is when you do have to come home there are many friends waiting to greet and play with you two again and looking forward to it.
And we’re really looking forward to coming home to friends and family, yet we’re sad to be leaving.
Young…hot…piper.
Errrm…now that I reread that part, perhaps I should have worded it differently.
