St Patrick's is a big party day (of course, it's Ireland!) and though the parade was good, I think I'd rather spend it in family in a smaller town parade and fun-good traditions to go with it.

St Patrick's parade
Everyone said we had to go and have the experience, see the parade and atmosphere in Dublin. So we did. We were standing there, Tuesday 17th, at around 10:30am (2 hours early). We got front row right by other Spanish people which was nice. When the commentators arrived, before it all started, they had many people sing or answer questions about their countries. Since we were front row, we kind of were put in the spot to "sing" the Spanish national anthem (we la la la-ed very well our non-lyric but wonderful himno nacional, and got a big bag of the good jelly babies and free tickets to the fair). The parade started, finally, and this is some of what we got to see: (the heads cut off are Gema and Blanca -sorry, I can't be bothered to fix it)

Caorlina I am so impressed with your blog - I'm not sure I'll show let you see mine! I'll email you the link but don't laugh!! its wonderful to hear about Ireland through your "eyes" I hardly even notice the weather and it made me giggle to hear you say about it being so windy - strange, I suppose I would comment on the heat if I went to Spain! Again, love the blog, see you soon, Anne Marie.
