Half a million people, green beer, green river, shamrocks, beads and a parade equals one heck of a party. I drove 600 miles roundtrip Tuesday to be at the Savannah, G.A. Saint Patrick’s Day Parade. It’s the biggest parade south of Chicago, IL. It was well worth the trip.
I’ll be back tomorrow evening to upload photos and do a proper post. I’m exhausted!

Happy, day JD I hope it was wonderful. You know the funny thing is Americans ‘do’ parades like no other, even if there’s not an Irishman in sight (well the North Koreans are pretty good at parades too but far less colourful) Seriously, the St Pats parades in Ireland or Sydney for that matter are all Tractors and silly hats, mad looking boozers and lacking in ‘class’
but you guys know how to put on a parade! Looking forward to the pics.
Happy birthday!

lacking in ‘class’
But have the distinct advantage of usually featuring actual Irish people …
