Greetings O'Kossacks! Irish history is filled with saints and sinners, warriors and poets, scholars, singers, storytellers, patriots and rogues. According to Thomas Cahill's How the Irish Saved Civilization, we'd all be speaking Visigoth if it weren't for the Irish.

But you don't have to be Irish to enjoy St. Patrick's Day. Whether it's wearing green, dyeing rivers green or even drinking green beer, everyone's welcome to celebrate in their own special way.

Inspired by Khloemi's response to my comment in her lovely Pootie Diary, I took a sip of Jamesons and decided to post my first diary - to share some of the beautiful photos from our 2007 trip to Ireland. Warning: if you've never been to Ireland, these photos are bound to make you want to go. If you've been, you'll want to go back.

Take a short break from politics, HCR, Deem and Pass and all the stresses of the day and follow me.....
