Our very first stop in Dublin was a local bar that was right
down the street from our hotel. It was called Molloys. This was not the average
looking bar in Dublin; it was very beautiful on the outside (as you can see
from the picture) and a little shabby on the inside. This particular bar had the cheapest pint of
Guinness that Dublin offers. When we
walked in all eyes were on us, you could definitely tell that we were from
American. We sat down and soon made friends with the bartender, Regina, and a
few of the locals who were regulars at Molloys. They loved us! They would not
stop talking to us and telling us stories about their lives, it was amazing. It
was as if they had never talked to Americans before. We soon learned that one of the men we were
talking to was a father to a famous Irish singer. His son was Ronan Keating. At
the time we had no idea who Ronan Keating was, we later Googled him and
recognized some of his music. Before we
left Dublin we went back to say goodbye to our new friends and they were so
smitten that we remembered them, it is something I will never forget.
