I'm the living example of "better late than never."
Until a few years ago,
my life was steady, predictable, reassuringly repetitive.
But my recent adventures have changed all that.
So what's next for me?
Now that I'm considered something of a traveler,
I've challenged myself to complete my own bucket list,
before actually kicking the bucket.
I did a lot of research,
kept an open mind...
Who's going hiking in the Amazon?
...and came up with a list of my own.
Take a look at this.
Welcome to London!
Never felt more like a tourist.
These are some of the greatest
once in a lifetime travel experiences you can have.
Don't take this the wrong way, but this is a horrible ride.
Tick that off the bucket list.
- This is my first time in Ireland. - Of course, I've been here before.
- Yep. Once. - Once or twice.
- Once. - Once.
Whether they should be once in my lifetime,
is another matter.
But I'd like to think I've gotten a little bit bolder...
It's hard to believe I'm actually here.
...a little bit braver...
What a save!
Course I work well under pressure.
...so this could be my most memorable trip yet.
Was getting drunk with Prince William on your bucket list?
- That's the bucket. - That's the bucket, is it?
Pretty rugged. The Cliffs of Moher.
There they are. Beautiful!
For my next bucket list adventure,
I've come to the wild west coast of Ireland.
This is a part of the country that I've always wanted to see for myself.
And I'm not alone.
Each year, more than a million North Americans
cross the Atlantic to the Emerald Isle.
Some come to explore their family tree.
Others to take in the incredible scenery,
or just soak up some legendary Irish hospitality.
Ireland is what? Kind of a charming people, fun loving people.
I'm really looking forward to it. I'm quite excited about it.
I think it's gonna be great fun.
To make this trip even more memorable,
I'm being joined by someone who's never been to these shores,
but actually has Irish blood in her veins.
- Isn't this amazing? - Isn't it great?
My daughter, Sarah.
- Holy cow! - There it is.
- This is it! - Yeah.
This is my first time in Ireland.
- Of course, I've been here before. - Yep. Once.
- Once or twice. - Once.
- Once. - Yes.
- What do you think of it so far? - I think it's stunning.
- It's not warm. No. - No, you should've brought a warmer coat.
Why do you think the cliffs look like that?
- Weather. - Right.
Just...
for 18 billion years.
I'm really looking forward to kind of doing this with Sarah
because, I mean, we've never actually taken a trip on our own before.
Oh, that's great! Love it.
- Our first pic here in Ireland. - Yeah.
We generally have a great time together.
I tend to kind of nudge him along to do things he might not want to do,
and he, hopefully, trusts me.
That's sort of the dynamic.
For the full Irish experience, we've timed our trip for St. Patrick's Day.
A tradition that's been celebrated in Ireland for more than 1,500 years.
Are you excited to be here for St. Patrick's Day?
Are you kidding me?
It's a great, great, great idea for a trip.
- Shall we? Should we do it? Okay. - Let's get going.
Who doesn't want to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Ireland?
A magical adventure awaits.
Truly.
I thought you were driving.
- I am. - Oh, you are driving.
To really embrace the local way of life,
we're heading to a small rural community in County Clare.
We're doing it the way the Irish do it.
- Yeah, getting a taste of the landscape. - Yeah.
- Plus, we get to explore... - Yeah.
...the family tree on Mom's side.
- Divine? Yes. - Yeah.
Divine is very, very, very Irish.
So, we're looking for Craggy Shore, is that right?
- Flaggy Shore. - What is it?
- But, by all means... - Flaggy Shore.
I don't know what I'm looking at.
- Why are you using a map? - It tells you where to go
and that's the important thing.
Flaggy Shore is a half-mile of rocky coastline
where Sarah has found us a pretty impressive rental home to settle into.
Oh, my gosh. This is amazing.
Look how cute this is.
Well, it was built in 1785, so...
Like, when, the year you were born?
Yeah, the year I was born.
- Wow. - Oh, my gosh.
Well, this is charming.
And historic.
It's not often you get to stay in a house as old as the American Constitution.
How did you find this place?
I found it online,
like every person in 2025.
I love teasing him.
He takes the brunt of the jokes, for sure.
- Oh, my! Look at this. Very yellow. - I love this kitchen.
We'll make something delicious in here.
We kinda get along well. We have fun together.
You know, she's not afraid to call me on stuff,
which is kinda fun.
He likes his routine. He doesn't like surprises.
- You hang your clothes? - Yeah.
Sometimes you gotta mix it up and put some spontaneity in there,
which is why I don't tell him things, like...
where we're staying or what it looks like.
Because why ruin it?
Flaggy Shore has a picture postcard look about it.
And despite not having many neighbors,
it's not long before we get a knock.
- Hello! - Hi!
- Almost didn't get the door open. - How are you, Sarah?
- Welcome to Ireland. - Come in. Come in.
- Dad! - Hi!
- Hi. How are you? - I'm good. How are you?
I'm Ruth. It's lovely to meet ya.
Well, I'm Eugene.
- And it's lovely to meet you. - Eugene, you're very welcome to Ireland.
- How are you doing? - Well, I'm good.
- Do you live around here? - I do.
I'm part of a massive family in this area.
And you're here in a great weekend. It's St. Patrick's weekend.
- Yes. - How special is that?
Do you know anything about the day itself or St. Patrick himself,
- or anything like that? - No.
Fair bit of drinking involved, I know.
- That's all I know. - That's the rumor. Yeah.
He's our patron saint.
He's the reason why Christianity came to Ireland in about the fifth century.
Well, this is exactly what we're into here.
- Getting the original. - Great. You'll have a great time.
- That's it! Yeah, exactly. - Yes. Yes. Great.
So this is actually Galway Bay here and over there is Galway City.
And that's where the big parade is on St. Patrick's Day.
- It is very beautiful though. - So beautiful.
So gorgeous.
In true Irish tradition,
Ruth's invited us to join her later at the local pub.
But before that, Sarah sent me to run an errand.
We're gonna be making dinner tonight in our little cottage.
So, I've got a few things to pick up.
So, I'm off in search of the local farm shop.
The Veg Box!
Well, how cute is this?
This would be the local grocery store.
"Help yourself to fresh vegetables. Price is on the slate."
Oh, I see.
There's no cashier or any other customers.
Just an honesty box where you put your money.
It's an odd way of shopping.
But, you know, having the place to yourself, that I like.
Onion. Two garlics, beef and potatoes.
That's everything.
Apart from the one item that we'll need for the morning.
- Excuse me. - Hi.
- I was looking for some eggs in the... - They're probably all gone, but...
- ...in the box. - This is my veg box.
And these are the veggies
- that you're actually growing here. - Yeah.
You grow them, you cut them,
- you put them in the thing. - Harvest them. We put them in there.
And you don't have to bother with people like me
- coming over and chitchatting. - I don't mind you bothering me.
We can check the hen house if you like?
- Check the hen house? Sure. Yes. - Yeah.
- Come meet some hens. - Okay.
- So, these are the ladies. - Hey, girls.
They're like my husband.
They love potatoes.
Luckily, we have acres of them.
- We'll go for some eggs? - Some eggs, yes.
- I see four right here. - Yeah.
Well, that should do it.
- There's just-- - Two more.
Well, there's just two of us.
Can always make a, you know, four or five-egg omelet.
- You can. - Sure.
And you've been doing this for how long?
We're... I'm thirty years here.
- Thirty years doing this? - Yeah.
It's a beautiful way of life. It's lovely.
I love the change of scenery.
I love the fact that you can hop off your tractor
and jump into the tide and have a swim,
hop back up on your tractor and finish your day's work.
But I love it. I mean, I wouldn't live anywhere else, to be honest with you.
I mean, look at that. It's beautiful.
Oh, my! That's stunning.
I wish I could paint.
It's stunning.
Well, you wouldn't have to paint, 'cause there's your painting right there.
- All you gotta do is look at it. - It's true.
- Do you speak Gaelic? - Cúpla focal.
That didn't sound good...
- You know. Okay. - A few words. That's what that meant.
- Cúpla focal. - Cúpla focal.
Well, that's some Gaelic
- I actually would like to toss around. - Or I could learn you some more.
Strictly speaking,
this bucket list is about experiencing Ireland's west coast.
But now that Sarah's a mom to my grandson James,
getting a chance to hang out with her on our own is definitely a bonus.
Tell me what you want me to do.
Unless you don't want me to do anything,
- in which case, that's all right too. - No, no, no, no.
You can maybe season the beef.
When was the last time you made a stew?
The last time I made a stew was never.
- I can't seem to get this off. - Soda bread, yeah.
Do you wanna peel the potatoes or do you wanna turn the stove on?
- I'll turn the stove on. How about that? - Okay.
I can't get the oven working.
Okay, I'll do the potatoes.
Shouldn't it sizzle?
Do you want to open some wine? You can do that.
Yeah.
It's a Malbec from Argentina.
It says, "Don't cry for me," right on the label.
- That's good. Yeah. - Good?
- Feel free to laugh. - No, it has to be really funny...
- Oh, okay. - ...in order for a laugh.
But you could save it for a talk show or something.
Slainte.
Or...
I think the majority of our family moves at a much faster pace than Dad.
And, by the majority, I mean everyone.
I take my time. But I wouldn't say...
Would you say I'm slow, generally?
Yeah.
I think Mom actually snapped a menu out of your hands one time
and said, "He'll have the lobster."
How's the stew?
But there's something liberating about owning that.
Yeah. I just... I'm perhaps a bit more methodical.
Yeah, I still would use the word "slow."
But let's go with that. It's methodical.
Yeah. Yeah, methodical is good.
Don't crack your knuckles, honey.
Okay. Well, I feel like
we might have put too much water in it.
- Smells good. - Really?
I'm not so disappointed. It could have been a lot worse, I think.
But making it was a lot of fun.
This is a rarity, hanging out just the two of us.
Although, we spent more time together during Schitt's Creek.
- Well, that is true. - And I lived at the house
- while we were shooting. - Yeah.
It's always fun having the kids in the house.
But from your perspective, maybe not quite as much fun.
No, but it's gonna be sad
when James doesn't want to
- spend time with us anymore. - That's right.
But there will come a time when he's going to want to be off with his friends.
- Yeah. - "Where are you going?
You gonna be around? Oh, okay.
Well, maybe, you know, maybe next month."
- Right? Yeah. - Yeah.
- And that will be sad. - Not for him.
- Not for him. - Not for him. But for you. Yeah.
For parents, it's always tough when your kids become independent
and want to do their own thing.
- Okay? - Yes.
Off we go.
It's cold.
Down at the local pub,
we're meeting up with Ruth and a very important member of her family.
- Hi! - Oh, my.
Hi! You made it. Come on in.
This is my grand aunt Una.
- Nice to meet you. - And nice to meet you.
At 92-years young,
grand aunt Una is the matriarch of Ruth's family.
And she remembers how St. Patrick's Day was celebrated
before the days of green beer and oversized hats.
In my life, you went to mass in the morning
and you wore your little bit of shamrock.
- You'd start the day by going to mass? - By going to mass
because it was a Church holiday,
which meant that you had to go to mass if you were a practicing Catholic.
Have you seen that change over the years?
I'd say it's changed
from being a very simple day of commemorating St. Patrick.
In America, it became a big story.
And I'm sure it was the Irish immigrants to America who made it like that.
Okay? And when did that kind of turn into...
I'd say you might have done that after mass.
They used to call it "drowning the shamrock."
On St. Patrick's Day, you drank so much
- that you drowned the shamrock. - ...You were wearing on your lapel.
- And here we go! Look at that. - Oh, wow.
There's a shamrock on top of your Guinness.
And there's a shamrock on top!
- Look at that! - Slainte.
Slainte. And welcome to Ireland.
- Slainte. - Means to your health.
My first taste of real Irish stout
sure hits the spot.
And in a traditional pub like this,
you may also find yourself in the middle of a spontaneous sing-along,
known as a seisiún.
In Oranmore
In the County Galway
One pleasant evening
In the month of May
I spied a damsel
Anybody that gets up and just starts singing...
I mean, I'm right there. I just... I love that.
She wore no jewels
Nor costly diamonds
And round her shoulder
Was a Galway Shawl
That was great.
Just what you thought an Irish pub would be like.
I felt like I knew everybody in the room.
- Slainte. - Slainte.
- Slainte. To your health. - Slainte.
Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Top of the morning to ya!
At least, I think that's what they say in these parts.
Irish breakfast. That seems fitting.
After her first full day in the land of her ancestors,
and with St. Paddy's Day tomorrow,
Sarah's been reflecting on her Irish heritage.
I'm feeling more proud than ever to have Irish blood.
It always meant something.
But I wasn't actually quite sure what it meant, to be honest,
because I didn't really know much about the culture.
To find out more about her Gaelic roots,
Sarah and I are meeting up with a local genealogist,
as long as we can get there in one piece.
So when was the last time you drove on the left side of the road?
Forty-five years.
I think the key thing is you have to remember which way to look
for oncoming traffic when you're making turns.
- Well, yeah. - You know what I mean? Yeah.
Oh, now he's turning right.
Can't really see. Are we clear?
I think... Oh, wait! Dad, Dad!
Oh, I forgot, yeah.
- I see... - Yeah.
- I'm looking up the wrong way. - Yeah. Yeah.
There we go.
After a few Hail Marys,
we make it to the 18th century Glenlo Abbey.
Should be interesting.
- Yeah, very. - Huh?
- Hiya, Sarah. Lovely to meet you. Eugene... - Hi, nice to meet you. Sarah.
Hilary is a researcher and family historian
with the National Archives of Ireland.
- So, it's the Divines? Exactly. - It's the Divines.
- And that's your mum's name? Is Divine? - Yes. Yes.
- Okay, so Harold is her grandfather. - Okay.
But it's your five-times great-grandfather,
is the link back to Ireland.
Wow.
- And here... - Wow.
- ...is the grave of James Divine. - Holy cow.
Born 1790. Died 1870.
Well, there it is. Born in Ireland, died in Pennsylvania.
So the bridge for the Divine's coming to North America is...
- Absolutely. - ...says it all right here in this stone.
And my son's name is James.
- There you go. - And I didn't know any of that.
- Really? That's wonderful. - So I've continued the lineage.
- Isn't that lovely? - Yeah. Yes.
Obviously, something in your head just went,
- "Call him James". Exactly. Exactly. - Yes, it was calling us.
And it's not just your family that went.
Emigration is the story of Ireland,
and the actual surname history of the Divine
is interesting.
The first Divine, or Devine,
comes from the Kingdom of Oriel.
And Devine was the eldest son of the King of Oriel.
It means that you have your history in real Gaelic royalty.
- So that's pretty good. - Wow.
- I can't say that. - That's amazing.
- I mean, what are the odds? - Yeah.
I bow down.
When I tell my wife that she's actually a descendant from Gaelic royalty,
- things could... - You'll have to genuflect first.
...things could get, yeah, kind of difficult
at home.
So, what you have is quite... It's unique.
And you can celebrate Patrick's Day as not an honorary,
but a real Irish person.
- As a true Irish person. - Yeah. Yeah.
I have centuries old links to my Irish heritage.
To the king, Devine. Centuries old.
I should have taken Divine as a last name.
- What was I thinking? - Yeah, what...
What were you thinking?
It was so cool. It was...
You think Mom's gonna be excited about this?
- Oh, yeah. Yeah. - Yeah?
There was no... There was no royalty in my side of the family.
Back in good ole Flaggy Shore,
we're celebrating Sarah's big news
by sampling the best of what the west coast has to offer.
My cousin has this restaurant, Linnane's. It's just around the corner.
And where better to start than with its seafood?
- Hey, how's it going? - Hello, Ruth. How are ya?
- Great to see you. - Conor.
- Eugene, Conor. - Eugene.
- Nice to meet ya. - Hi. Sarah.
Sarah, how are ya? Nice to meet ya.
Flaggy Shore Conor, I guess. Is that the...
That's me.
So you've kind of been in the seafood...
- Seafood business my whole life. Yeah. - ...business your whole life.
- Runs in the family. - It does.
My daddy and my brother actually have a clam business.
They fish for clams just on this bay.
The waters in and around Galway Bay are famous for deep sea fishing.
It's a rich cornucopia of shellfish,
like clams, oysters and some prized crustaceans.
Would you like to pick a lobster for lunch?
You know, that would be me saying, "You're going straight to the guillotine."
Yeah, okay.
Galway actually grew up around a fishing village
that was first established back in the fifth century.
Locals like Conor have been catching, selling and serving fresh seafood here
for generations.
All right, guys. Food's here.
Oh, my gosh.
Do you wanna try a mussel or a clam?
- Try a bit of lobster. - I'm gonna try a little of...
lobster here.
Wow.
- That's really good. - Okay.
I thought you were gonna say something else for a second.
- And I was just gonna be like, just... - You don't know me.
You think you know me, but you really don't.
...push him right off the pier.
Dad is not an adventurous eater.
He's like a bagel brunch kind of guy. You know?
- Bagel and cream cheese. Egg salad. Tuna. - Just who I am. Just who I am.
- Lovely. - But this is... This is a mussel?
- Yes. - Yeah.
We all know how I feel about raw oysters.
But Sarah's made of stronger stuff than I am.
The taste is delicious.
I'm glad she has a more exotic palate than her father.
'Cause, I mean, it wouldn't be great if the entire family was just,
"No, I don't wanna eat that."
But I'm glad she is in a league of her own.
Just being normal.
There's something about eating seafood this close to the water as well.
- Yeah, it feels natural. - I think it really adds to it. Yeah.
It is funny you mention that because eating this
so close to where they actually come from...
- Yeah. - ...it's just a reminder of how they were...
They were very much alive just not that long ago.
With St. Paddy's Day tomorrow, Sarah's found a special way
we can toast this country's well-loved patron saint.
We are going to meet a distiller I've heard about
who, apparently, makes the best Irish coffee.
- He makes it out here? - Apparently so.
We've ventured deep into the region of Connemara,
an area once described by Oscar Wilde
as a place of savage beauty.
- Welcome. - Hi.
How are ye? How's it going?
- Good, good. Pádraic? - Pádraic. Nice to meet you, Eugene.
- Yes. Eugene. - How you doing?
- Hello. Sarah. Nice to meet you. - How we doing? Nice to meet ya.
I brought some wellies.
'Cause you're gonna need them.
Something tells me there's more...
There's more involved here than just Irish coffee.
Normally, Irish coffee is with Irish whiskey.
Today we're gonna try it with its predecessor, Irish poitín.
- Poitín? - Poitín, yeah.
Before whiskey started here in Ireland, we started doing poitín.
- Great. - If you're up for it.
- Well, we'll be right back. - Wonderful.
- That's it, honey. - I think that's good. Yeah.
Yeah, that's the way.
This is really not something somebody of Gaelic royalty should be doing.
Known as Irish moonshine,
poitín is this country's oldest spirit.
And a drink that would have been familiar to Sarah's ancestors.
It's a little mucky.
These vast bogs are the source
of one of poitín's vital components: peat.
My brother is here as well.
- He's got a head start on us. - Great.
Hi, folks. How's it going?
It's going very well.
Haven't seen mud this nice,
you know, since I was a kid.
For hundreds of years,
generations of distillers like Jimín
have been cutting the peat into bricks and leaving them out to dry.
Dad, you wanna jump in?
All right, sure.
Put it down at a bit of an angle.
Keep going down.
These blocks of peat provide fuel for the stills
and adds flavor to the poitín.
Hey, look at this, baby!
- He's nailing it. - That's a great sod. Fair play.
So, Eugene, since you're enjoying the turf cutting so much,
the three of us are gonna get some bog water,
so that we can actually have our Irish coffees.
- Some bog water? - Yes.
- All right. All right. - Enjoy.
And thanks for this.
- Seems to really enjoy it. - Yes, right?
Well, he's into it now.
We can grab some water from here.
- Stand on the rock and just scoop it out. - Scoop. Bog water.
- That's perfect. Yeah, lovely. - There you go.
- Oh, my God. - All righty.
Hey, Eugene. How's it going?
Do you think you've earned an Irish coffee at this stage?
- Yeah? You're up for one? - Oh, yes. Yes.
Oh, I'm past the point of earning it.
You know.
Pádraic boils the bog water...
Unbelievable. Promise ya.
...makes coffee with it,
and then adds the key ingredient.
This is our heritage poitín.
- Moonshine. - Yeah.
- Sip it. - You'll see it's really smooth.
Floral.
- The aftertaste is smooth. - It is smooth, yeah.
It doesn't leave you just feeling like you've burned your entire...
- Not at all. - ...esophagus.
Once the moonshine's in, Pádraic tops the coffees off
with a healthy dollop of cream.
As they say here...
which is "Happy St. Patrick's Day."
To the best Irish coffee you've ever had.
- Thank you so much. - Slainte.
Thank you, boys.
- My God. - So good.
Boy, that is good.
I gotta admit, it's the best Irish coffee I've ever had.
And it's gotta be the bog water.
Thank you so much.
I swear to God. Pádraic, Jimín.
- Such a pleasure, honestly. - Thanks a million. Pleasure.
- That was really good. - Really was good.
That's literally where I basically got it from.
Oh, my God.
Here in Connemara, and along the entire west coast,
the kinship with nature runs deep.
Deep enough, apparently, to soak in.
Ruth was gonna take us to this warm seaweed bath.
Sounds...
exactly like the kind of thing I would avoid at all cost.
Sipping bog water's one thing.
Stewing in seaweed is another.
Have fun, honey.
So I'm quite happy to leave this one to Sarah.
- Ruth. - Hi, Sarah.
This is...
- insane. - It's lovely.
Do you know what I think you need to do?
Is give it a try yourself. Seaweed's really good for you.
- Okay. - We have a tub set up for ya.
- Do you wanna go get changed? - Let's do it.
There's some shipping containers back there.
And you can get sorted
- inside one of those. - Great.
That's my favorite place to change.
It's March on the west coast of Ireland,
so not exactly balmy.
- I'm cold already. - No, you'll be grand.
Good thing the seaweed in those old whiskey barrels
has been steeped in hot water.
- Yeah. There you go. - Okay.
Is that your first seaweed bath?
- This is my first seaweed bath. - Wow.
What do you think?
I am not gonna lie, the seaweed underneath me
- feels... - Feels a bit funny? Yeah.
- ...funny. - It's like bubble bath.
Yes.
Now, with St. Patrick's Day tomorrow,
- to prove my Irish roots at this point... - Yes.
...I was hoping that you'd teach me a little bit of "Galway Shawl".
Because you sang it so beautifully
- the other night. - Happily. Yeah, so if I sing a line
- and you repeat it? - Okay.
Okay, great.
She wore no jewels
No costly diamonds
- She wore no jewels - Beautiful.
No costly diamonds
No paint, no powder
No, none at all
No paint, no powder
No, none at all
And around her shoulder
Was a Galway shawl
Sarah, you're brilliant.
Literally sitting in a barrel...
- You're a song bird. - ...trying to sing.
Stop. You're gorgeous.
Thank you.
The big day has arrived.
And we're on our way to Galway city for the annual St. Patrick's Day parade.
Get your Irish colors!
Home to about 86,000 people,
Galway is Ireland's fourth largest city.
St. Patrick's Day!
It held its very first St. Patrick's Day parade back in 1903,
making it a long-standing tradition.
It's such a sweet little city.
- Isn't it? - Yeah.
Buzzing. Getting ready for the parade, it looks like.
- Hi. - How ya doing?
Happy St. Paddy's Day!
Everybody, hands in the air!
- Oye! - Oye!
- Oye! - Oye!
- Oye! - Oye!
Hello.
Would you like to try ringing the bell?
- Ringing the bell? - Yeah.
Oye!
Oye!
Oye!
- Oye! - Yeah!
Bravo!
Have you ever had laryngitis on St. Patrick's Day?
Yes.
This holiday actually marks the anniversary
of St. Patrick's death.
But is celebrated with great joy every year on March 17th.
- Hi, Sarah. How are you? - Hello.
- You're very welcome to Galway. - Nice to meet you. Thank you.
Eugene, what a pleasure it is to have you here in our great city.
No doubt the mayor's gotten word of Sarah's royal lineage...
- Happy St. Patrick's Day. - Happy St. Paddy's Day.
...because he's invited us to join him at the front of the parade.
Best seats in the house. So, here we go, guys.
- Okay. - Enjoy the parade.
- You got it. All right, thank you. - Thank you.
St. Patrick's Day in Ireland. This is, sort of, as good as it gets.
It's the place to do it, isn't it?
St. Patrick is perhaps the most iconic figure in Irish history.
Funny thing is, he was actually born in Britain.
- Boy, you got a big crowd. - It's a big crowd.
I mean, there could be 55... 60,000 people at the scene today.
- Yeah. - Wow.
- Wow. - Well, people enjoy the day. Hi, Brian!
- How are you, Paul? - I'm good, Peter.
Great. Nice to see ya.
Happy St. Paddy's Day.
Hey, everybody.
Eddie. Hi, Brendan.
- You know virtually everybody in town. - Pretty much everyone.
I knew that it would be lively and vibrant,
but you don't know until you actually see it
and experience it.
How energetic it is, and how deep the crowds are.
I feel very royal right now.
And I feel Irish.
Before we go on our way, the mayor has a little gift for us.
Bye. See you soon.
Can I just now present you with two pieces of shamrock,
which I would like you to wear on your lapels?
- It is the symbol of St. Patrick's Day. - Wow.
- We wear it with pride. - Oh, my gosh.
- Wow, thank you, Peter. Thank you. - Not at all.
- Thank you so much. Thank you. - Thank you, Sarah. Well done. Well done.
With real shamrocks on our lapels,
there's really only one way to finish our time in Ireland:
Reuniting with Ruth at the pub.
- Ruth, hello. - You look great.
- Look at your green coat! - Happy St. Patrick's Day.
- We were in the parade. - How'd it go?
We were on the bus. We were chitchatting with the mayor.
- Yeah. - Basically, your honorary Irish now.
Yeah, we'll have to apply for dual citizenship.
- Oh, my. - Now here you are, Eugene.
Here you go, Sarah.
Everybody, this is Sarah.
- And this is my dad. - This is the clan.
This is some of us anyway, yeah.
This is definitely, you know, a high point bucket list experience.
You know, the charm of the people kinda belies the rugged nature
of the coastline.
Una!
You have a decent bit of Shamrock.
- He got them from the mayor. - Look at mine.
It's been such a wonderful trip for me.
And the fact that we were able to do this together has...
has just brought so much more meaning to it.
And after yesterday's warmup in a whiskey barrel,
it's time for Sarah to prove her Irish credentials.
She wore no jewels
No costly diamonds
No paint, no powder
No, none at all
She wore a bonnet
With a ribbon on it
We've had a great time,
and I love the fact that my daughter was here on this trip with me.
Galway shawl
Love hanging around her, you know?
You know, she's all grown up now. She's got her own family.
I don't get to hang around her as much as I would like.
Hey!
Spending time here has shown me that St. Patrick's Day
is more than just a good time at the pub.
It's a proud celebration of what makes Ireland so special.
And for anyone with Irish roots,
anywhere in the world,
raising a glass on this day let's them tap into that feeling of home.
Happy St. Patrick's Day.
- Slainte. - Slainte. Happy St. Patrick's Day.
Good catch!
Next on my bucket list...
I know a lot of people who have come to India and say,
"You gotta put that on your bucket list."
- That was close. - Almost hit that woman.
Oh, my God. It's massive.
No more calls. We have some monkeys.
I'm actually feeling like a traveler.
Now that you're a Rajasthan Royals fan.
Look at this.
- Is that good? - Yeah. Very good.
