Cheers to Harris!

No trip to Dublin would be complete without a pint of Guinness. Harris' birth has already been celebrated with Jameson Irish Whiskey and a good Cuban cigar. Harris had put up with the heel prick from the public health nurse on Monday and has been a very good boy. I thought he deserved a toast so Cherry and I departed on the LUAS for Temple Bar.




The Temple Bar has been serving Irish beer and whiskey for over 160 years and is crowded with students from Trinity, locals, and world travelers dancing and singing along to the live music.




The band was playing the ballad to the famous fish monger, Molly Malone, who is immortalized with her statue on Grafton Street. Their music energized the dancers as they performed with fiddle, guitar, flute, and uillean pipes.






Cheers, Harris!




Epilogue: Harris is now 2-0 as a Longhorn Fan. He cheered the Longhorn basketball team to a twenty point victory over Texas A&M in their house Monday night. The Aggie coach is now joining Harris in predicting a Final Four appearance for the Horns. Harris says welcome to my bandwagon!
