Milltown, County Kerry
We spent our first three days of our Ireland adventure in
Milltown, County Kerry, population, 928.
Milltown
is a small village with a huge Catholic Church. The B & B we stayed in was
upstairs from Larkin’s Pub. It was comfortable and warm. In the evening the
Larkin’s Pub came to life. During the week they had a jukebox (even though this was 2014) which
people played while enjoying a drink...or two...or three. Later in the evenings, there would be more people and lots of music. Occasionally, someone would bring
a guitar or another musical instrument and play old Irish songs. As noisy as it
was in the pub, it was dead quiet in our upstairs room.
Interesting
enough, throughout our travels, we stopped periodically to stretch our legs and
get either something warm to eat or, herb tea, or cold, bottled water.
Local pubs seemed to be the place to share news of the town or the world and
discuss politics or world affairs. Basically the hub of the town. The bigger
the town the more pubs and taverns.
When the
music was going full blast, the dance floors were crowded, shoulder to shoulder
(it was a small dance floor!). Then it hit us. This was a perfect place for a murder and body dump.
