Geocache Description:

I will be on my honeymoon in Seattle, San Francisco and the Los Angeles area (Hollywood and Santa Monica) in early October and would love to meet some local cachers while I'm there! 

 


I'd like to bring a little bit of Irish craic* with me so I thought I'd hold the events in Irish pubs along the way, as I 'crawl' between each location! 

Our second stop is San Francisco, a city my husband and I have never been to

What? 

A meet & greet event to have some geocraic and maybe exchange some trackables

Where? 

Johnny Foley's Irish House, 243 O'Farrell Street  (there is no requirement to buy anything!) 

When? 

Friday, 6th October from 7pm until 8pm (at least) 

 

*What is 'craic' anyway?

 

Here is a good explanation from an article by Elaine Walsh entitled 'The Irish keep talking about craic – but have a tough time defining it':

 

First things first: It’s pronounced “crack."

 

“Let’s go have some craic" is the youthful cry each Saturday evening the length and breadth of the Emerald Isle. "What is this craic and why is everybody having it or looking for it?" visitors to Ireland often ask with raised eyebrows (their tone suggesting that the entire Irish population should get to a detox clinic as soon as possible).

 

Craic is a Gaelic word, with no exact English translation. The closest you get is “fun." There’s the expression “ceoil agus craic," meaning “music and fun," probably once used by locals to fortify themselves before heading off over an arduous mountain pass to the nearest ceili. Craic doesn’t appear in standard English dictionaries, but enter it as a search term on Google, and 42,500 listings come up. There’s obviously a lot of craic out there.
