On Thursday, we decided to have a relaxing day at the hotel pool. Not such an easy task since that's pretty much what everyone did every day. We scoured for chairs forever, finally settling on hanging out at the roof patio until seats opened up. We sat up there for like an hour before we could spot some open chairs. So honestly this was our Thursday, hanging poolside. After we got our tan on we went to get ready for the night. After our cab rides to and from the hotel, I told Ryan we should walk north to check out those restaurants, after a nice little walk, we decided on the place that looked the most poppin. So O'Donnell's Pub it was. It was pretty packed so we sat at the bar, the other thing odd for us, just seating ourselves. They had like a 30 minute wait for food but they had guinness so Ryan was happy to wait. The bartender Sue was a nice lady, a former Rugby player according to Ryan, who was the first person to ask us where we were from. Ryan promptly answer the USA, to which she replied, "I know that, where though" when we answered Arizona I'm pretty sure we lost her interest. Anyway, I was very thrown when Ryan said USA, I think if I would have answered I would have said America. This has made me very interested in what others would answer. I've asked plenty since we returned, USA seems to win out. The pub was fun, there were some odd guys standing next to us that we were sure were plotting our death, but luckily we snuck away before they struck. After the pub we walked back to the hotel and set our alarms because the day I was waiting for was almost here...market day!!
I would have answered "the US"
