Happy Saint Patrick’s Day from Savannah, Georgia, home of the second largest Saint Patrick’s Day parade in the country (after New York City). The celebration began with 8am Mass at the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist celebrated by Bishop Hartmayer and was followed by the start of the 191st annual parade.
My day began with a gentle knock at my door at 6:30am. Before I could finish wondering who it could be, the door was flung open and in came a man with a dog. The dog sniffed around my room and left. I’m glad they sake security seriously, but it was one of the oddest ways to start the day.
