It is true, no matter where you are tourists stick out like a sore thumb. When I was in Ireland they could see us coming a mile away, so believe me I have no false pretenses about fitting in and not being thoroughly touristy. We'll be going to Lock Ness, can you beat that? :-) And here in Florida, we can spot the Europeans, Canadians and Yankees a mile off so I expect no less in return. :-P

No way in hell you would've missed me. I was the lunatic in the drop top red mustang (a rental), fur felt Akubra Stockman hat, Complete with utilikilt , flying down Armenia ave at like 4 am.

I just spent two weeks in Indian shores (where a friend owns an absolutely fabulous beach front condo), and had many pleasant forays into tampa bay.
My fav point in the bay area is without doubt the Four Green Fields. Familiar with it, murph?

Fortunately, Mickey Quinn's, a cosey little irish theme pub run by the nicest Irish expat lady, was also only about a hundred yards from my condo, which my wife now jokingly refers to as the "100 yard Stagger", in reference to too many long nights filled with waaaaay too many guinness pints.


Okay, back to topic now
