How about a pint or ten – Paddy!

The famous annual Irish Festival has arrived, and, in true South African fashion, we made our presence known. The festival was held in our awesome park across the road. A new friend of ours, another South African, Jasper, is the events manager of Coors and we all met up for a few drinks.

My Canadian friend, Melissa joined us and soon we were consuming more drinks than responsible, intelligent people should, and enjoying all the Irish hospitality. A U2 band wannabe was playing some cool U2 music, adding to the great summer evening fair.My Canadian friend, Melissa

As the Festival started drawing to a close, the local Paddy’s invited us to the Irish pub down the street. As if we have not had enough to drink, I decide that it would be a really great idea to play coinage (or quarters as they call it here). Eventually, rather tipsy and going downhill fast, we decided to call it a night. Needless to say, the next day was rather uneventful, it was me, my babelas, my couch and my coke,

What a great evening with great people. Looking forward to many more.
