Last night after dinner, we decided to play cards, but we were out of provisions (ie beer).  So Cory drove us all into Dingle and we were fortunate to happen upon a Supermart, which promptly closed the door right in our face.  So Kathy stopped two people on the street and said, "Hi, we're looking for someplace to buy beer." They replied, "We're looking for someplace too," and walked on.  Not the Irish hospitality we've grown accustomed to.  Finally, Kathy spots an old man in a doorway with two dogs and asks him if there is another place to buy beer seeing as the Supermart was closed (in their defence, it was after nine).  He gave us directions to another place further down the road.  So Kathy and I start running down the street to where oure car was parked, and the car is gone.  I figured this out after I tried to get into another blue car, thankfully, the door was locked.  We pressed on, passing Kelly in a parking lot who inexplicably asks "do you see me?" I realize that she's just watching us run up the streets like a couple of lunatics and so I yell at her to get the car and follow us.  I turn around and Kathy's down!! She has to tie her shoe, I yell that I'm continuing and she yells, "go, go, go!"  I take the long way around the traffic circle and even with my blazing speed she catches me by cutting across.  We run along a hedge, Kathy in the lead and the hedge opens up to reveal a petrol station with a shopping center.  I yell, "Go, Kathy!! Don't let them shut the door!!!  She leaps through the door and quickly finds the beer section, we make our choices, feeling pressured.  I suggest getting ice to keep the beer cold and she scoffs," Quite being a wimp, we're roughing it!!!"  We are finally successful in our quest and bring our booty back to the B&B. 

And they lived happily ever after........until the next morning.
