Rotary Games Night and St. Patty's Spectacular

I sadly do not have any pictures of the Rotary Inter-club Game Night. I accidentally left my camera in my room. But it was a great night. I had only played one of the games before, which was darts, and it was the first time I ever shot a riffle. (And you would all be so proud, I managed to make the bullseye every time...in fact I have my bullseye sheet hanging on my wall in my room.) I can't say that my great teammate, Barbara, and I had the best winning record, but we sure did have a wonderful time. Our opponents were members of the Rotary Club of Washington and they have invited me to speak in May. They also happen to meet in the ancestral home of George Washington, so I am very excited to visit! Following the games night I decided that with my Irish heritage, there was no better place to celebrate the feast of St. Patrick's Day then in Ireland. I spent a few days in Dublin and had a wonderful time. I saw the St. Patrick's Day parade which had more American school marching bands than anything else, but it was still a fun time. (St. Patrick himself, shown in the picture, actually participated in the parade as well!)
