So under that great introduction were suppose to be great pictures that i took throughout the day...obviously they didn't upload correctly or I'm just technologically inept (which is quite probable). Let me try again...this was our experience. (Thanks for the heads up Sam)
Who knew that King Kong attacked Ireland first? Maybe he's from Ireland.
Holly found it necessary to buy an undersized Leprachaun headband/hat for the occasion. She pulled it off quite nicely.
Apparently this guy needed a better view of the parade.
A sea of green hats......... 
The parade route.There were so many people that packed the streets of Dublin I felt like I was in Disneyland on the opening day of the 50th anniversary celebration. We were shuffled along with a multitude of people bearing green in some form or another, one guy was in all green head to toe. I heard more American accents than I have in a long time, but along with the grand number of Americans were Italian, Spanish and Eastern European. There were few Irish nationals and if I were an Irish national, i wouldn't want to come into the city either. After watching random float after random float (King Kong being my favorite) we decided to get some food. Traditional Irish sounded best but all the pubs that served food were so full that we opted for the next best thing, kebabs (and they hit the spot). After our meal we hit a few pubs and got a few drinks amongst the chaos. We finished off our day with some ice cream. All in all I had a blast and was glad that I went into town and had great company with me. I hope everyone had a great St. Paddy's Day.
