For spring break this year we are traveling to Ireland – for the first time since 1996.
St. Patrick’s Day
St. Patrick's Day began as a religious holiday celebrating a patron saint of Ireland but has gradually transformed into a secular celebration of Irish culture by the Irish, the Irish diaspora and everyone who just wants to join the party. Nowadays when St. Paddy's day rolls around, rather than heading to a pub for some green beer, I find myself thinking about Ireland and reminiscing about our trip there in 1996.
