As you can imagine, St. Patrick's Day in Ireland was an unforgettable experience. After attending a Mass in Irish, my roommates and I made a huge breakfast of eggs and home fries for our friends. After getting decked out in whatever green and Irish flag-themed articles we had around the apartment, we set out for the parade. We couldn't really see the floats because there were so many people, but to console ourselves, we went the Old Oak after and had a pint of Beamish, made right here in Cork City. We came back and made barbeque and sweet chili wings for lunch-ish and then started the corned beef and cabbage. After a nap, we feasted on the "traditional" Irish meal and watched a football game on TV. The perfect day.
