Seeing Green

Ok, so big apologies to everyone because I haven't posted a new entry since March 15! That is truly pathetic. So I am recommiting myself to updating the blog regularly. I have a ton of photos and experiences to share, so start checking regularly.

Since I haven't posted since March 15, I figure a good place to pick up is where I left off. Here is March 17. Yes, St. Patrick's Day. Although I don't think there are too many Irish people in Hawaii, the locals use it as a good excuse to drink — much as they do all over America.



Here's a classic green beer. We found these at what I think is the only Irish bar in Kona, a place called Quinn's. It's a draft of Kona Golden Ale with green food coloring. Yum.



Here's another classic drink for St. Patrick's Day...an Irish Car Bomb. Ode to the IRA. You take a shot glass half filled with Jameson's Irish Whiskey and half filled with Bailey's Irish Cream. You drop the shotglass into a half glass of Guiness Irish Stout and chug. Yum. Then KABOOM.



And one more classic scene of St. Patrick's Day....drunk strangers. Just kidding, these are two friends of mine from the newspaper, Baron and Andrea. They're appropriately dressed in green and giving you a cheers.

The rest of the night was too blury to be photographed.
