[Leica] Moon landing - where were you?

[Douglas Barry]

I was in Dublin watching it at my parents' house and, as a result due to 
time zones, Neil Armstrong didn't put his foot on the moon until the 
early hours of the morning of the 21st July. I had to be in work in my 
summer job at George Webb's Antiquarian Bookshop beside the Liffey a few 
hours later, but everyone else at the shop was looking equally haggard 
having been up all night too.
