A toast to majority

Luca is 21. 
Wow, how did that happen?! 
We had a very enjoyable gathering in Little Dumpling. The boys were a little worried at the 'little' part of the restaurant's name. They needn't have worried. The portions were more than generous and oh so tasty (especially for those who like spicy food). 
I ordered from the Chinese only part of the menu. As Jing-Jing explained, they are afraid to put off the Irish punters with words such as offal, pig's trotters and tripe. My offal broth was very tasty, once I had managed to fish out most of the half pound of dried chilis that floated on top of the tripe and slices of lung. 
Anyway Luca... Wow. A Trinity Scholar, soon (as in this afternoon) moving to your own accommodation in a hall of residence, Trinity tour guide and vintage clothing and facial hair expert. 
And a great little traveller. I have really enjoyed our week on the road together. It felt like a watershed moment. I suppose it is. 
Don't become a stranger.
