There's no better place to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than in Dublin. So we took a one-hour flight to see for ourselves what goes on during their four day celebration. We played at the fun fair in Merrion Square, toured & tasted at the Guiness Factory, went sightseeing to see the highlights of Dublin, had dinner at Bono's hotel, and met with some friends who live there who have two small kids for Rome to play with.
It was a very fun and educational visit and we learned the history of Trinity College and the book of Kells, that Guiness beer tastes much better with blackcurrant juice and that they do not, in fact, dye the river green on St. Patty's Day. The weekend does culminate in a crazy and colorful parade that we got to see right before we took off to go home (and took lots of pics to share with you). We later learned that that is when the real party started, which explains why our flights were so cheap ...

We have the Book of Kells! Dunno what it is, it was grandfathered in the marriage :-)
Awesome pics, loved looking thru them. I only wish I could've been there!
