St. Patrick's Day

So apparently Monday was not really St. Patrick's Day because of holy week. W and I didn't really get that memo so we still celebrated it, green milk and all. I curled my hair for St. Patrick's Day and it turned out pretty good.

We went to a lecture given by Barry Cunliffe on the topic of the Celts. For those who don't know, Barry Cunliffe is a top European archaeologist, who specializes in the Celts. My textbook for European archaeology was written by him. Before W and I went to the lecture, I joked with W about bringing along my textbook to get it signed and W said that I should do it, so I did. After the lecture and the question and answer session I went up and my European archaeology professor introduced me and I got to talk with Dr. Cunliffe a little while he signed my textbook. It was awesome!!! What an amazing man!

After the lecture W and I went to Burger King for dinner and then went for a walk along the river. I never realized just how much there is to do in this city, and how many beautiful places there are. We really enjoyed our walk together. Once we got home I realized that I needed to turn in some library books, so W walked down to the library with me. Upon returning home W worked a little bit on his blog and I did some other things. Then we watched "The Quiet Man" together for St. Patrick's Day and enjoyed pistachio pudding and lime jello, foods that aren't very traditional but they were green so it was fun. Overall I had a fantastic St. Patrick's Day and a wonderful time with my husband!
