St. Patrick's Day

With a little delay, but ... 
I didn't know that St. Patrick's Day, the Irish holiday celebrated on 17th of March, is so popular here. The city was literally covered with people wearing green, Irish pubs were full since morning (but not only Irish ones). It was still a bit chilly but sunny Wednesday. I decided to skip my afternoon organization-design class and enjoy the day.

We had a special guest on a visit in Waterloo: Marilyn from Montréal. We started the evening with few pitchers in Grad House (Graduate house in the campus) and then wanted to continue in Bomber (a pub also in the campus), which turned to be unrealistic as the queue for the entrance was longer than usually and didn't seem to be moving at all. So we changed our intention and headed to Molly's Irish bar. Of course there was a queue too, but much shorter. For the first time I had a green beer! Weird to see, but the taste was the same like normal. I still wonder what they put inside :)

Cheers!
