St. Patrick's Day in Killarney

What a party,  the celebrations started on Friday.  It is a national holiday here of course.  Our hotel has a pub on the main level with live music each night.  So in Sunday once our course was done we joined on the fun.  I drank my first Guinness then moved onto Smithwick. It's pronounced Smidick.  It was much better.   We had such fun. Maria made us song sheets so we could sing along with the music.

Monday we were in the parade, we gave  candy to all the children,  they have not seen that before,  we were told we had to place it In The child's hands not throw it, as they did not want the streets littered.  I loved the children. Their little faces would light up when i would tell them I am giving them candy from Canada.
They will never forget the Celtic Angels from Canada

The family from the Auld Sweet Shop were so cute, as they remembered us,  I think we bought out the store,  when he saw us coming he ran inside the store and brought out his little wee lad , he lifted him up to us to show us his pride and joy.  We felt so honoured he shared with us.  What a wonderful warm community in this town of Killarny.  The Irish are a warm people, I adore them.

That evening we were back in the pub,  this time it was green beer and more music.  I laughed so hard my tummy hurt, it's been a long time since I have laughed so hard.
 Today is horseback riding, help me God.  But I am embracing the fear.
