An Irish Spring Day

It is absolutely gorgeous in Galway today. It seems we have managed to leave Winter behind and charge ahead with Spring. The trees are blooming, the sun is warm on the back and face, there's a light breeze and the air is Irish Spring fresh. I think today is the kind of day Colgate-Palmolive had in mind when coming up with a clever marketing name. I'm feeling nostalgic lately. I had a strawberry for the first time in a long while. It reminded me of picking them fresh with my grandma back in Indiana. I think Spring is one of the best seasons since it is a time to start fresh. The semester is coming to a close and project deadlines are looming, but we can all take a step forward and start something new.

I'm off for a marathon training run to blow off some stress and take advantage of this amazing day. Tomorrow, Erin's parents arrive in Shannon and we'll head off for a long weekend tour of the West of Ireland. Great places to see, memories to be made, and pictures to keep. I'll take along my journal and keep you posted on my Irish travels.

UPDATE: I just found this article about Irish Spring in The Onion. Brilliant!
