Boxty restaurant

Tonight John and I went to dinner at an Irish restaurant. It was tasty. I had boxty vegetarian chili and John had a chicken dish. Mine was wrapped in a potato pancake (but tasted like a normal pancake)! It was quite interesting but tasty. The chili was actually spicy and pretty thick. John had chicken on the bone with mashed potatoes. It was called Avoca chicken. The strange part of this place was that we were seated next to two other people that we didn't know. They were already seated at a table that could be for four and looking at their menus. We were then seated next to them. The funny thing was that the two ladies next to us were also from Chicago (Arlington Heights)! It was funny. It was their last night in Dublin and wanted Irish food. In the four days they were here they also did more sightseeing than I have since June!

This morning on my bus ride I really valued the Americans with Disabilities Act. There was a guy in a wheelchair getting off the bus and he fell out of his chair! The bus driver didn't pull all the way up to the curb and the "ramp" didn't work so as he got off the bus he fell. We had to wait for the ambulance to come and then another bus of the same route came and we all got on that one and went on our way. I think that the guy was OK because he was able to talk on a mobile phone and seemed to be talking to people. The paramedics were wrapping his head when I got on the new bus.
