St. Patrick's Day!

I just celebrated my first St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland. I went to the parade in Dublin with friends, and a great time was had by all, if you could ignore the 500,000 other people who were standing in front of you, blocking the view. Now, I’m not too familiar with the St. Patrick story, evidently he brought Christianity to Ireland. Which is why, I’m sure, the Irish celebrate him by getting roaring drunk and causing havoc. Though, to be fair, most real Irish people seem to stay home and out of the way of the foreign hoards, most of whom have flown in for the weekend on Ryanair. But hey, any excuse for a holiday, and we got a day off from work, so I ain’t complainin’!
