my first half pint


I had my first half pint of Guinness this weekend. I am no longer offended to be considered a half pint... Because it clearly depends on what you are a half pint of! If it is Guinness it is just enough! I actually liked it. It was a cold and rainy day, with a lot of wind. We had tried several times to go for a walk, but every time the sun started to shine we got out of the car and then it started to rain. It was like someone was playing a cruel joke on us. I got caught in the rain and was fairly drenched, so I was glad to have a bowl of seafood chowder and a half pint of Guinness to warm me up. I think that I will have it again, but I have to admit the warm port that we tried later was much tastier! It was like hot sangria and it felt like Christmas. The pictures below are for posterity sake, the top of the Guinness was thick enough to make a smiley face looking up at me... It was delicious! Tami... I think that you would have loved it too! I have many funny memories of Donegal, and if nothing exciting happens at pottery class, I will try and communicate some of them tomorrow. Goodnight.

I don't know why, but the idea of you in some pub with a pint (or half-pint) of Guinness just seems a little odd. I don't know. I think Guinness is awful, but I also think all beer is awful. People always ask me at work if we carry Guinness and for whatever reason, we don't.

ANyways, I'm glad you've got this blog up while you're over there. I'm really anjoying reading it. Take care.

"They come in half-pints?"

Oh sweet, sweet Guinness... not that Guiness is sweet but, whatever. If you find a really talented publican they can draw pictures using the tap (i.e. heart, shamrock, interlaced fractal patterns, etc.).
