15. 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.

31. Bonnie’s Limerick
There once was a group of near 20
Who swore that they’d never be grumpy
Though they slogged through the rain
Which was really a pain
They still made memories aplenty.
They listened to stories by Barry
Near castles and churches they’d tarry.
He regaled them with song
On busrides so long
Through weather that often did vary.
Ireland, a place of great wonder.
In history, they came just to pljunder.
But now tourists prevail
And drink the fine ale
Sleinte to spirit NOT torn asunder!
