To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, I did two things.First, I went to a free concert in Old Town Square that had Irish dancing and also Poitin playing some Irish jigs. The weather was cold, cloudy and occasionally rainy but we made the best of it.
Lucy and I were in search of some cornbeef and cabbage, but to no avail. No one had even heard of it. Makes me wonder if it's really Irish. We went to Caffrey's Irish bar next to Old Town Square and it was too packed to even sit in, much less get food and beer.
The five of us then walked to Wenceslas Square (after I broke a painted egg at a stand and had to pay for it) to Rocky O'Reilly's bar. Everything was extraordinarily over priced and they didn't have cornbeef either. So we walked down the street to a non-Irish pub serving green beer.
Now the beer I saw at O'Reilly's had a little bit of green in the foam on top, but this bar, called Jama, had green beer. The entire thing was a dark green, perfect for St. Patty's Day. The advert promised "super prizes" for "participants" but our server had no idea what that meant. They may not have had cornbeef either, but at least we fulfilled our holiday obligation in drinking green beer (even if it wasn't Guinness).
Other than that, it is midterms week, and so I'm writing an essay and studying. Robert will be here in about a day and a half. Yay! Expect cute photos and other such things.
And I already called him, but once again: Happy Birthday Troy! You're my favorite big bro ;)
