A really great Sunday

Yesterday Don and I took our first ever bus tour. It was so great.

We went in to Philadelphia and had brunch at the Irish Pub (in honor of St. Patrick's day) Then on the way to see the Chieftans in concert at the Kimmel Center (also in Philadelphia) we came across the St. Patrick's day parade.

The Chieftan's concert was absolutely fantastic. Not only were they on stage, but they had other guests, Irish Dancers, a Guitar Player from Vince Gill's band, a wonderful harpist, Canadian dancers, and local young Irish Dancers. I don't believe I've ever seen so much talent in one place before

It was great. And all this with wonderful friends.

Oh it sounds wonderful! I love St. Patricks day, but not much going on here in Smalltown. Their celebrations usually involve white tailed deer. LOL

You know, us English know very little about St Patrick etc. I only found out about him when I came to teach in France

Sounds like a whole pile of Irish fun! I work with a bunch of Irishmen -- they're great fun.
