"The Local" Scene

Here in "Fungarvan" (Hehe) there is a lot to do. I've been out and about biking, walking, and just taking the time to do some deep reflection on what I'm doing in life and how I want to achieve my goals. While doing that, I've also had time to go and check out the local scene and have some fun! The bars are really cool, Creation, Anchor, and John Keane's all have a good nightlife (it includes good dance music and a dance floor!) which is great for when I want to go out and just dance my life away! I've also been to the more down-to-earth local bars (one is conveniently named The Local) where I've had a nice pint with the locals about the country and just what in general is going on with them. It's nice and interesting to hear their story and they are genuinely interested in hearing mine. It may be an older crowd but I really do connect with the older generation - in a way that we love to talk each other's ear off about history and current news and just how their day is. One of the events they had here in town was a live band, and as a musician myself I really care for our playing. So, seeing live bands here in Ireland is really sweet! I love the traditional Irish music - it's a change from the American music I listen to. I've even had the chance to play a few songs - with Tom Keith's daughter and son! This is just a small idea of what my time in Fungarvan has been and many more to come!
