Pub Crawls taught us the customs of the public houses. Everyone was friendly, welcomed us, and we learned at least two rhythms for jigs and reels. “Butterfly and caterpillar” are the tricks the children are taught to remember the patterns.

Photography/Limerick by: Bonnie Greenberg 2011
Bonnie’s Limerick
There once was a group of near 20Who swore that they’d never be grumpyThough they slogged through the rainWhich was really a painThey still made memories aplenty.
They listened to stories by BarryNear castles and churches they’d tarry.He regaled them with songOn busrides so longThrough weather that often did vary.
Ireland, a place of great wonder.In history, they came just to pljunder.But now tourists prevailAnd drink the fine aleSleinte to spirit NOT torn asunder!
