We had breakfast at a small café similar to Panera Bread (aka St. Louis Bread Company). After my tummy was full with a breakfast bagel and fruit infusion cup of tea we picked our spot for the parade and stood our ground. The parade was not at all what I expected, especially when it is the second largest parade in Ireland to Dublin. It was made up of mostly kids’ sports groups, camps, bands, then some theater troops and church groups. Very few people were really dressed up there except for the few people with the identical costumes. We wondered the streets taking in our surroundings afterward till we found a pub that looked good. I drank a Guiness as we listened to some live musicians playing in a crowded bar of people of all ages even children. Once we finished our round of beer we headed off to our next pub to start our St. Patrick’s Day pub crawl. It took a few more pubs before we decided we were hungry for lunch. That is where I got my first fish and chips since being in Ireland. At the end of the night we finally met some guys in a bar. One was Irish and the other was Canadian. It was a good time, not all that I expected but an experience none the less.
