The Lederman Kitchen

I know, we are super far behind on the blog and there is a lot to catch up on.  To close out Jenn's visit to Europe (after our ski weekend in Austria , and checking out Innsbruck and Munich ), we brought Jenn back to Dublin to see our home. We took a few day trips.  We first drove north of Dublin to Howth & Malahide.  The second we drove southwest to Kilkenny.  We wanted her to get a feel for Ireland, showing her the coast, some castles and the beautiful Irish countryside.

But, we resisted our temptations.  We did not come to Howth for any of that.  We came for the seafood.  And there were plenty of fish markets, cafes and restaurants serving fresh seafood. We started lunch by sampling some mussels.  And ended with some Fish and Chips (I forgot to take a photo).  Both were worth going back for. We walked around and enjoyed the views and people watching. Don't be fooled by the blue sky and sunshine, it was cold! After an enjoyable afternoon of lunch and exploring, we retreated back to the train and to our temporary home. 1.5 weeks left until we move, can't wait!
