Sighting a Bakesale customer in Ireland

While touring the Kilmainham Gaol, I noticed that a fellow also on the tour looked familiar. After a few minutes, I realized he was a Bakesale Betty customer! (I remember in particular selling him a carrot cake for his father's birthday.) Once I was certain he was from the US (i.e. accent check), I approached him. I remembered his name incorrectly (though I was close). We laughed at the randomness of meeting here. He actually moved out of Oakland and had been living in London so he didn't know that I had left the bakery to study here.

We took a picture because he'll be going back to California and will see his former roommate who was a regular as well. I figured there was a good chance I would see someone during the year abroad and I'm kinda glad that I did, especially this customer because he was always pleasant and friendly.
