Travel. St. Patrick Days Parade. Killarney

Had so much fun dressing up in red for the parade, we had our banner and all walked behind, then running along side to hand out candy for Canada,  the kids were so excited.  Along the route were some of the shops we had come to know during our stay here. One was the Auld Sweet Shop. Niles the grandson of the original owner had been waiting to see us, he ran inside real quick to bring out his baby son for us to see, he held him up high with the biggest grin on his face,  the pride was so obvious, his father stood beside him with a big smile and wave for the angels from Canada.  Mike our bus driver was in the crowd with his wife , we made quite a spectical of ourselves with hugs and kisses for him, he said later he was the eny of all the lads near by.

The night before the parade was a very lively night at the pub, Maria had song sheets for us , we sang till we were horse.  Tried  my first Guiness which was ok however the Smithwick (pronounced Smidick) was more my liking. I have had one every night since.   On St Patricks day we had green beer, yup I am liking the beer.  Now, I am told Guiness is very high in iron,   (not sure about the Smithwick, but i am going to continue to think so)back in the day pregnant we on we're given a free bottle every day.  Not sure how good that was .

No better place to celebrate St. Patrick's Day then in Kilianry Ireland.
