Kiss Me I'm Irish

Yes, even in Spain they celebrate Saint Patrick's Day, San Patricio. However, I asked Carmen why she was not wearing any green and she didn't understand. I explained to her that if you don't wear green on St. Patrick's Day than the kids will pinch you! She got a laugh out of that and said she had never heard of it. 
But that night a group of us went out to one of the many Irish Pubs in Bilbao, The Irish Stone, and found it was crowded with other Spanish students. There was a band and all the students had these tall, green, foam hats that said, "Happy St. Patrick's Day 2010! Guiness" I really wanted one but wasn't sure how to get one, oh well. We just stayed out for a little while, but it was a good time. I was just happy that Spaniards do celebrate St. Patrick's Day!
