Go green!
I wear green every day. Each St. Patrick’s Day, I don a little extra, okay, a lot extra. When I read as a kid that there was a place called the Emerald Isle, I was captivated and just knew that I had to visit this magical land. Maybe it sounded like something from The Wizard of Oz. Maybe it was the words, emerald and isle. Add luck, leprechauns, rainbows, pots of gold, and magic, my mind raced!
As I got older and learned more of Irish culture and history, my desire to visit only grew. So we went 13 years ago. Here are a few highlights.
We soaked up the literature, the stone circles, the peat bogs, lovely wool everywhere, tender lamb, music, the Celts, and more. Smoke salmon, Irish Breakfast tea, theater, the Book of Kells in the beautiful Trinity Library, and wooly tams, too.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
