How Did I Get Here?

There is a small explanation needed how I got from “Waxy” to an Ireland rugby jersey. Only a small one, really.

Frankfurt am Main has quite a few Irish pubs and we tried out a few but Waxy’s is the one we go to when we want to watch a rugby match. It hasn’t got as many screens as O’Reilly’s at the station, but it’s not as cramped as Mac Gowan’s on the Zeil, Frankfurt’s shopping street. And in the Anglo-Irish Pub in Sachsenhausen you sometimes have to argue with the English football fans if an interesting football game is on. Besides – Waxy’s has the easiest for parking for out-of-towners like us.

With Ireland doing well in this year’s Six Nations, Waxy’s was the first association that came to mind when I heard today’s prompt

Here’s to the land of the shamrock so green!

59 celebration

This is how we celebrated Saint Patrick’s Day in Frankfurt this year: several Germans, about as many US Americans, one Columbian, a South African, an Israeli, two Poles, a Finn, three Brits, and there might have been somebody with an Irish ancestor somewhere.
