Luckily, after kayaking Sunday, and all of Monday and Tuesday, I had enough done to go out and enjoy St. Patrick's Day. I have classes from 8:30-12:30 am on Wednesday, so unlike a large group of people who have Wednesday's off, I had to keep it reasonably under control.
I never realized how much of an American holiday that St. Patricks Day had become, before coming here. It really isn't a big deal here to Australians, but the Americans sure made it feel festive. There is one big Irish Pub in Freo, and the line to get it was two hours. Rather than wait it out to feel festive, we decided to go bar hopping.We visited five different bars over the course of the evening. The best was the green beer served at Mad Monks, or the chili pepper beer at the Sail and Anchor. Each place we drank different kind of beer and had a good time.
Notre Dame people got into it a little bit with 
different cheers for the Irish, and that added some interesting moments to the evening. It was not the way I have ever celebrated St Patrick's Day in South Bend, but it was still a fun night out.
