St. Patrick's Day!

It's St. Paddy's Day in Ireland!  The four of us head for the festivities in town!

What is St. Patrick's Day without some live trad?



We bummed around, waiting for the parade to start. Booths lined the area, selling all sorts of items, from food and baked goods to pictures and other collectibles. Plenty of people wandered around these or packed themselves into the local eateries. Definitely a crowded day in City Centre.

Everybody lines up for the parade.

We wait for the parade, after sneaking into a front row seat!

It begins...


The bagpipes and kilts make an appearance, 


And we met St. Patrick! Along with...

Amelia Earheart? Dancing to Rihanna?

And lions and zebras...




Even the dogs get to join in on the fun...

After the parade, we enjoyed the sunshine and wandered around the city walls.


And of course, that night it was off to the pubs! It was a night for dancing, people watching, and 
meeting new friends.
