I would have to say the celebration was a little different than I had expected, maybe a little more American than expected or not quite as Irish as expected? We still had a great time exploring Grafton Street, walking up and down the River Liffey, checking out St. Patrick's and Christ Church Cathedrals, Trinity College, and the Temple Bar Quarter. We also waited in line for two hours to tour the the guinness storehouse with the other 500,000 tourists in town for the holiday weekend. The wait was definitely worth it as the inside of the storehouse was pretty impressive and the end of the tour ended with an opportunity to visit the 360 degree gravity bar at the top of the building to view Dublin.

Did you feast on cornbeef and cabbage. A couple of my friends went out to lunch just to have this meal. Not my favorite. I stayed home and did my laundry.
Love, Gma
Thanks for your message. When I was in Dublin on a work project in November we walked around Liberty U. campus. I believe this is where Neil and Connie Potter's daughter is a student. She came to our work project one day to visit those of us from Berne.
Glad you are having the opportunity to visit various countries during your winter term.
