Then the Internet happened and New York showed us up so Dublin stepped up the celebrations big time.<br />Really St Patrick's day is an excuse for people to go out and get drink so far as I can see. The 4 years i spent in Ireland i took it as an excuse to spend more time with the horses on the family farm as everything is always closed on the 17th.<br />However as an expat living abroad i have always been heavily involved in he promotion of Irish culture & dance since I was young. There are ceilis & music sessions organised all over the place to promote our heritageAoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-27498160529624817972015-03-22T17:59:05.404+01:002015-03-22T17:59:05.404+01:00My friend from America who came incidentally to ac...My friend from America who came incidentally to accompany me to Equitana had been to Ireland and told me there is no such thing as St Patricks Day in Ireland - is that false? <br /><br />We celebrated the day by taking 4 trains to and from Cologne (to the world famous cathedral) and paying for NO train tickets at all, "in the hope that the Irish luck is with us." and...it was. My German friends were appalled, my husband was in Austria so he couldn't chastise me...but heck....we're Amis.<br /><br />We did, however, pay for the Wuppertaler Schwebebahn: )<br /><br />Please tell more about Equitana!lythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-75732265827618876072015-03-21T21:42:13.025+01:002015-03-21T21:42:13.025+01:00I did to both the above, thank you sweetheart!
