The very first sight of Ireland - I was thrilled ! My heart started to beat fast, as if, before, all that was not real enough for me.

I do not deny it, the picture sucks - but it was an official Irish thing, so I had to snap it.

I was honestly thrilled to see the bilingual official things in Gaelic and English. Sort of made the country even more official.

It seems that some things are world wide classics - not only limited to North America.

And on top, it was Miamia version, the one I seen most seasons of.

Funny, I thought the movie title was "The French Connection" ... oh wait, this is not a movie, it's a restaurant ... oups ! my bad ...

I know a few men in Montreal who'd die to have theses buses back home !

The add was really beautifully done !

Real life, again - simple, beautiful, peaceful.

Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer
Our Country's call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call
