WAHO Gets Me Through – Friday June 29, 2013
Some days we have class all day long, and instead of boring you with class lecture reviews, which I slipped in and out of sleep for, I am just going to say we had 4 hours of lecture today! Whew, too much. The only thing that got me through the day was our INCREDIBLE brunch at Mr. Waffle (like WAHO, but classier). It is a small restaurant that is connected to a Tesco (very casual), but it is reasonably cheap and has a great variety of breakfast foods. I had the Strawberries and Crème Waffle; it was sweet and crunchy all at the same time. Everyone loved their meal and we will definitely be returning for brunch on a long day again. That night, we went to Taffee Bar and The Kings Head. At Taffee Bar they had great traditional Irish music playing and the place was packed, but I think it was due to the small size of the venue. After deciding to leave and go to The Kings Head is when we started having so much fun! They had a band called the Bare Essentials playing; the band was great to dance and sing along with. The band members were not cute and dressed kind of weird, but the music held a wide variety from ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ to ‘Rolling in the Deep’, so everyone had something they liked. It was packed, like most places on the weekends, but it wasn’t too squished like some other bars get.
