Erin Go Bragh!
It was time for the wearing of the green today, as it was a day to celebrate all things Irish. It was ironic, my cousin would later point out, that we celebrated an Irish holiday with a group of Americans in England, but sometimes the wonderful irony of it all is what makes it so great.
She had spent the day up in Cambridge visiting some family friends, and so I told her to meet me at the High Street Kensington Tube Station, where we then joined my Friend from Kindergarten and another American friend of ours to celebrate some wearing of the green and to drink some Guinness.
Overall, just a good time, as we had some burgers for dinner, and plenty of Guinness to drink, as we talked about America, Ireland, working as a banker, and just all the usual sorts of crap that Americans always talk about when they get together.
Even took a photo of the two of us with our pints of Guinness to e-mail to our cousins as a St. Patrick's Day greeting. Slainte!
