St Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin

Well, it's time to get back to normal after the fun and madness of St Patrick's Day (which went on for a week!) No more fun allowed until the next holiday...Easter is next weekend...Wheeeeee!!

Here are some pictures of the main parade in Dublin's main street, O'Connell Street on Saint Patrick's Day yesterday. Sorry for quality, but I took them from the telly. I will put better ones as I get them. Also a section of the 675,000 crowd that turned up for it. A good turnout especially  when you consider there are only 4 million of us on the whole island!

Good morning,

Wanted to take a moment to tell you how glad I am that I found your blog. My husband was raised in Ireland -- Listowel, Co. Kerry -- and his family still lives there, so I've been to your incredibly beautiful country a number of times. Visiting your blog brings back so many wonderful memories of our trips there. I am so in love with Ireland and its friendly people!!! We had hoped to visit this year once again, but our trip's been put on hold. Maybe next year? Thanks for providing a bright and beautiful read every morning.

Warmest regards,
Marilyn Lynch
