But the look on their face when they find out what they are emulating is PRICELESS!!!

So how was the pub crawl? We just hung out in the Water Tower area. Ate at 1492 Tapas Restaurant that night. Great food!

Yes, pretty windy indeed, but the walk along the tree lined path up the lakeshore was pretty sheltered.

Didn't want to hijack your thread. I'm waiting for Obuchiteck to post pics. I was blown away. I arrived a the pub and there were 8-10 kilted guys - I was amazed. But they kept coming until there were more than 30. And when they were ready to move to the next pub, someone blew a whistle and they all moved. I only made it through three pubs before I went home (they were planning to close the bars). Great camaraderie, a few bawdy songs, good conversation.
