Where to spend rainy afternoon

          I was reading a novel last evening and one of the characters asked another, "Where is your favorite place to be?" The second character answered that he loved the pasture behind his house best: it was the place he met his wife, where they got married, and where they were to be buried some day.
              I have lots of favorite spots. It depends on what I am doing. If it is hiking my favorite would be The Dolomites or Yosemite. If it is Christmas, it would be in Portland, Oregon with family. 
              On a rainy day, I can think of no better place than at a wine bar on the road into Kilkenny, Ireland. Sure, you think of Ireland and beer, but this place specializes in wine and small plates of food. It is warm and you can look out the large front window at people going by. It is just nice. The Grapevine Wine and Tapas Bar, 4 Rose Inn Street, Kilkenny, Ireland
