		<description><![CDATA[Taking the Irish holiday very seriously
<span style="font-size: 80%;">アイルランドの魂を感じて!</span>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Thursday March 17th is St. Patrick&#8217;s Day</strong></p>
<p>Each year the city of Chicago takes St. Patrick&#8217;s Day to a whole new level when it comes to celebrating a holiday &#8211; making all the other holidays &#8220;green&#8221; with envy!</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 80%;"><span style="color: #339966;">毎年シカゴでは、セント・パトリックス・デーのお祝いはだんだん盛大になって、他の祝日も真っ青ならぬ真っ緑にしちゃうくらいなのよ。</span></span></p>
<p>For the last 40 years as part of the St. Patricks Day Parade celebration, a private organization called the Chicago Journeymen Plumbers turns the Chicago River green.  This amazing transformation is truly spectacular as the crew dumps about 40 lbs of non-toxic dye into the river.  Strangely enough, the dye itself is orange, but once it is mixed with the river water it becomes a bright emerald green!</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 80%;"><span style="color: #339966;">過去４０年にわたって、セント・パトリックス・デーのパレード行事の一環として、個人の組織が「シカゴ・ジャーニーマン（職人）・プラマーズ（配管・板金工）」がシカゴ川を緑に染めるの。このびっくりな催しは、本当に圧巻なもので、４０ガロンもの非毒性の染料が川に流されるわ。この染料はもともとオレンジ色なんだけど、水に溶かすと明るいエメラルド・グリーンになるから不思議よね！</span></span></p>
<p>The spiri of the Irish is alive and well in Chicago&#8230;enjoy!<br />
<span style="font-size: 80%;"><span style="color: #339966;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 80%;"><span style="color: #339966;">アイルランド魂は今も脈々と受け継がれている・・・</span></span></p>
