After hours traveling, with family, despite being tired, we decided on going out for a pint. So glad we did. We had such a nice time. John was very welcoming and gave us suggestions on where to go in the city of Derry and beyond. The Guinness was, by far, the best we've ever had. I regret leaving without saying goodbye. John, thank you for turning our tired crankiness into laughter. The night will be one to remember. We had the most wonderful visit. We are off now to enjoy more of your lovely island.
