Dessert was Guinness, the Cubs game, and some interesting banter with folks at the bar.

I know the quality of the pics isn't up to snuff (sorry, Sajini), but that's because I used the phone in dark places. I'm going to a tapas place tonight, I'll bring the digital cam if I remembered to pack it. :-)
