(EP 30) We visit the House of Ireland! Plus an unexpected bonus! No transcript for the bonus at the end, but you can tap your feet to the music!
OK so here I am in beautiful Balboa Park and there's this area called the... The International Cottages. The International Cottages where... well why don't you tell us? What are the international cottages? So the international cottages were formed back in 1935 and, uh, for the Worlds Fair and have been there, here since, and we have 33 different countries represented. Each country has a cottage. Right, and so we're in The House of Ireland right now, which is one of them, and... Oh! We're in the House of Ireland! That's fantastic, I dunno if you can hear the Irish music, let's try! .....Oops, there we go! That's, uh, Irish music in the house of Ireland. And we are open and every Saturday and Sunday for visitors and we typically have Irish food of various types here and the other cottages likewise have food from their countries, and we have entertainment, usually music and dance from different countries and cultures. OK so I can get some food at every one of these cottages and occasionally some entertainment. Correct, and then, uh, we do ours in March for St. Patrick's Day. OK that makes sense. Alright, so there you have it. You learned a little bit about The house of Ireland here in beautiful Balboa Park. Thanks a lot. Thank you! ............BONUS CONTENT: GAELIC!
