Every so often I re-visit Ireland via Earth cam…a place I have a love affair with and have travled to a few times.  If you peek in right now you'll see revelers in front of the Temple bar in Dublin.  Sort of fun to watch from over three thousand miles away!

Than with a spot of Jameson Irish Whiskey and a willing red headed lass decked out in the finest green lingerie.

Did you know that until 1970 pubs in Ireland were prohibited from selling booze on St.Patrick"s Day. It was considered to be a religious holiday.

It wasn't really huge deal in Ireland until the 1990's (tourism $).  In the United States, the holiday was a way for ex-pats to recognize their heritage just as Mexicans can with Cinco de Mayo.

Going to St Paul with my favorite red headed lassie!
