St Patty's Day


Each town has its own parade: an excuse to eat a 99 ice cream, free publicity for any business, and an arena for painted faces, big green hats, and dogs with O2 jerseys.


        




Greystones, a small but vivacious town, held its event on high street, stretching from the train station and entry to the beach down to Lily's school. Parades of dancers, soldiers, and several marching bands in uniform proceeded by our staring faces.

St Patrick's festival lasted four days in Dublin. We took the train on Saturday to see what the hullaballo was about, and found circus performers, many more types of ice cream, and bouncy castles.



A very authentic "live in a circle" act. The real challenge was trying not to stare.
 I think these men
were inspired by Will Ferrel.
Or perhaps vice versa.



The double-trapeze act. Phenomenal.
