Toilets

Americans...do not take your public toilets for granted. Note: I will be using the word "toilets" here as the word "restroom" that most of you may know. Not sure why they're so serious about not letting people use the toilets here, but they don't mess around. They actually have guards that are standing at the toilets making sure you are a customer/hotel guest/patron of whatever company it is. McDonald's actually hires some guy to stand outside the restrooms and make sure you are actually paying for something at McDonald's. Totally ridiculous and strange.

On another note, St. Paddy's day was fun. Went to the parade and drank in the pubs. Paying for it today, though. Took a tour of the Irish countryside today-beautiful. Hard to believe we'll be back in Amerrrica tomorrow. Cheers!
