Happy Saint Patricks Day


Happy Saint Patricks Day from Ireland! It is a beautiful day outside with lots of sunshine and warm weather. The festivities are in full swing so far, we just got back from their big parade which didn't really live up to the standards of our parades back home but it was still a lot of fun. Everyone was dressed in green, orange, and white with lots of feathers, sparkles, and flags flying everywhere. There were so many people out and about and the pubs around town are full to the brim with people who are enjoying a pint of Guinness and live traditional irish music. We just got back from a couple pubs and are going to eat something and then heading back out again. Stay tuned for more pictures of the night's festivities in another blog entry. Hope everyone is enjoying Ireland's national holiday! (no school for me, yay!)
