We were staying at the monastery, attended the pilgrim blessing with a group of our friends, then went out for dinner. And there on another table sat this cartoonish thing—which turned out to be a cider dispenser!

Sean and I ordered one and, while the cider was only fair, the entertainment value was fantastic.

We were cautioned by many to only dispense a little at a time and then to drink it immediately or it should be thrown out!
