St Patrick's Day

I had a pretty good nights sleep so was up early and went for a wander through the city of Galway while I left Kita, Danni and Gary to sleep off their hangovers. The city was pretty quiet at 8am on the biggest day of the year, and judging by the shenanigans that went on the night before I could certainly understand why.

The day kicked off for everyone a few hours later with a bacon and egg breakfast............ just what you need to get ready for a overwhelming day of celebrations.

Sarah led us down the street to watch the parade and we were shortly joined by Jimmy before we headed to the Dew Drop to have our first.............. coffee.

With the Coffee quickly downed we quickly chased it with a Guinness (except for Danni and Kita nuring hangovers, started off with powerades). The National Hurling Championships were on the TV so as everyone left to head up to the Kings Head, Ant and I watched the first half of the game and talked about........ sport and girls.

According to Ant there were no good looking girls in all of Ireland, and seeing as I've seen the Corr's on telly I assured him there were. This sparked an all day event with us trying to find good looking Irish girls that didn't have straightened hair or a fake tan. Normally I would have thought this would be quite simple, but damn do the Irish LOVE straightened hair and fake tans.

We managed to get the count to two, but it was through a lot of "Are you Irish?" "Your hair looks amazing, what's your secret?" and "Have you just been on holiday somewhere sunny?"

The whole day was absolutely fantastic with friendly Irish, good friends and fantastic Guinness.
