 Leprechauns, four leaf clovers, green everything, and radio advertisers using poor Irish accents. It’s all part of what we know as Saint Patrick’s Day. Like so many other holiday’s it just seems to get lost somewhere along the line. So did the Patron Saint of Ireland wear green, pick four leaf clovers, try to take gold from little people at the end of rainbow’s? Pretty unlikely. Maybe the fact that his life remains somewhat of a mystery, leaves a lot of room for folklore. What we do know about Saint Patrick, though, is that he dedicated his life to serving the very people that caused him years of hardship. Beyond the family gathering for corned beef and cabbage, there could be a bit of a lesson in there for all of us.

Pinterest Pick of the Day

 Ireland is absolutely beautiful.                                                                   Ooops! not that Ireland!

We spent a week traveling the countryside, but spent the majority of our time in Dublin, Limerick, Kilkenny and Cork. Besides the free pints of Guinness and being paid to be there, here are some of the other highlights. We had the honor in meeting the Lord Mayor of Dublin and the Prime Minister of Ireland (long story, but good one). Visited St. Patricks Cathedral and St. Michans church founded in 1095. We went on a tour into the burial vault underneath the church, where we saw dusty corpses in their coffins. Bram Stoker’s Dracula writings were inspired here. We enjoyed a few pints in the Guinness Storehouse with some Scotsmen. Visited the Kilmainham Gaol (jail) where several movies were filmed including, In the Name of the Father and Italian Job. We walked thru some unbelievable castles in the beautiful countryside. What a trip! I hope you enjoy this short video.
