FMM: 2.5 mi
Slainte, Leprechauns,
How was the green beer?
Are you still seeing visions of guys running around wearing green top hats asking "Who's your Paddy?"? Masses of people with green hair? Kids with fake butts inscribed with "Pog ma thon"? Weirdos on stilts accosting you? Men with moustaches striped in green, white, and orange (colors of the Irish flag)?
My advice? Have a hearty cup of Irish coffee. Or maybe 2 or three.
We saw all of the above and more as we wandered downtown Dublin awaiting the parade. It was a gorgeous day. St. Pat's Day is a national holiday here, so the streets were teeming with people. Mike chatted up a garda who revealed that Mary McAleese, the president of Ireland, would be passing shortly. We waved to her.
We cheered on our new favorite teams at a hurling match and an Irish football game at Croke Park.
We are off to County Cork shortly. I am not sure I'll have the internet, so don't worry if I don't blog for a few days; I just off cavorting around Cork and Kerry.
Dazed and amazed,
I remain
