One of my son's went to Ireland twice right after high school. He loves the place. Both times he started in Shannon and worked his way across the country hauling equipment for a folk band. His travel companion had an uncle in the band.

He loved spending time with the old sods listening to their stories over pints of Guinness and listening to traditional music. The people were warm and welcoming.

This is a much smaller thing but Lisa was a senior in high school at a swim meet at the college she wanted to go to. My husband was at home, got the mail and found out she got in and received a good scholarship. She went back in the afternoon and the coach and her new college team congratualted her and one of the girls took her out to breakfast the next morning. It was pretty cool to be accepted while being there.The coach knew but told her he couldn't tell her but letters went out and it was good news. And of course we went straight to the bookstore for sweatshirts.

Another one would be Mexico on Cinco De Mayo.

Maybe today will be the day for her! Oh and I like all the other cool places/events ideas!

Thanks for the history trivia Rosy. I did a little research too and found this.

It looks like they still do party on May 5th, it's just not the national holiday. I've always imagined Mexico would be like Mardi Gras on this day.

And I agree, I want to see pictures. Our kids are so lucky to get so much abroad experiences. I want to go back to college and be a kid again!

Hi, yes, her name is Patty. Patty in Dublin in time for St. Patty's. Oh and trust me, she's warming up for the celebration. Going to have to check the kid into Betty Ford Clinic when she gets home!
