dinner out

Today John and I got a large bookcase. He carried it home all by himself even though it was 55 pounds! It was a long and narrow box so he put it on his shoulder and carried it the 5 minute walk home through crowded streets. :) He then put it together while I walked Caineal. John did a good job and it looks very nice and was very well put together for a prefabricated bookcase with a back held together by duct tape provided by the manufacturers.

While we crossed the River, there was a swimming race going on. The men swam first. About 45 minutes later, the women went. I didn't get to see the womens' race but there were a lot of men swimming/racing in the highly littered River Liffey. It was even dirtier today than usual.

Later we went out to dinner. While at the Mongolian Barbeque, we had bad stir fry because it was really dry. You pick your own ingredients from the buffet and then they cook it on the big flat top grill in front of you. There were these kids and teenagers who kept butting in line. They didn't understand queues or waiting your turn. It was annoying. Anyway, they cook the food in front of you. It was OK but we probably won't go back since I can make better stirfry at home and it was expensive.

After dinner we went to a little cafe/coffee shop for dessert. I ordered hot chocolate and this almond cake thing. John ordered a chocolate shake. He got cold chocolate milk and I got warm chocolate milk. The cake was good.

While we were out we saw four hen parties in playboy bunny or skimpy clothes.
