My blog!

I am very excited for I have never been to Ireland before and I have heard many great things about it. I will be visiting some relatives (some of whom  have visited this blog and one who has posted!) in the Dublin area and County Cork. I am excited because in the ten days I am there I will visit castles, ancient burial sites, Dublin, various little towns and hopefully go horsebackriding. I am going to practice the little bit of Gaelic I know and hopefully learn some more and my relative Doreen speaks French so I shall have opportunities to speak en francais with her. As soon as I get back I shall make a post about mon voyage and maybe I shall post some photos.

If you wonder why your comments do not get approved during this ten-day time period or there is a lack of response to your comment, do not fear, it is NOT because I am ignoring you, it is because I have not been able to access a computer. That should not stop anyone from commenting though: an email inbox full of comments-to-be-approved would make me very happy when I come home! I will try my best to get online once or twice while I am there though.

Have you ever been to Ireland?

Are you Irish in anyway?

What nationalities are you?

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Today, March 17th is an Irish holiday celebrating St. Patrick.It is a holiday that is often related with shamrocks and leprechauns, but actually is religious. It is not necessary for you to be Irish to celebrate this day, because it is still fun anyway.  My town had its celebratory parade two weekends ago and I rode on a float! Unfortunately I did not get much candy, instead I had to throw it out to spectators.

Have you done anything to recognize St. Patrick’s Day?

Does your town or region  celebrate it?

Or have you never even heard of it?
