St. Patrick's Day

So we experienced our first St. Patrick's Day in Ireland on Sunday. Cork does a nice job with the celebration. Saturday they shut down the main street, St. Patrick's, to traffic and set up a large stage with some great bands playing and lots of food vendors and street performers. I must say, people were very into it. Almost everyone we saw had on an Irish hat, a shamrock or some face paint.


 
Sunday they had a parade. So many people came to see it and there was a great atmosphere there. They'd been predicting lousy weather all week, but we were so happy to see the sun.
 






 
Next year I'll definitely have to get one of those hats ;)
