Discovering Ireland by Land &Sea

hen I first visited Ireland more than 30 years ago, I didn’t have the slightest idea
that Irish blood flowed through my veins. Nor did I care since I was there to
Wparty and have fun with a small group of friends celebrating St. Patrick’s Day
in Ireland. In America, then and now, St. Patrick’s Day was an excuse to drink beer, be it
green or not, and generally act stupid. Wearing the only green shirt in my slim wardrobe
at the time, I would jump into a limo with a handful of similarly dressed and motivated
friends and bar hop around Ocean Beach until we could hop no more.
