The Guinness Man

A wonderful man that I met out in front of the Guinness brewery in Dublin. We had an interesting conversation about his daughter who moved out to Chicago several years back. Obviously, I must know her since I live out there. We talked about how much he wants to go out there to visit but isn't a big fan of flying. All in all, a very nice man who makes, at least part of, his living hanging out in front of the brewery with his horse as a representation of how the barrels of one of the world's finest brews used to be transported out to the pubs. I tried but couldn't convince him to put the horse on the cart and hold him like the old Guinness ad! That would've been a photo to remember!
