St. Patrick's Day 2012

We were lucky enough to take part in this year's St. Patrick's day parade.

The weather was glorious to begin with but weather in Ireland can be rather changeable and we soon had rainclouds scudding across the sky.

I managed to take a few pictures although being in the middle of the parade meant I didn't get to take pictures of all the wonderful floats, bands, clubs and other dancing schools.

Here our little group are following the lines on the road into town along the procession.
One of the floats we saw at the end of the parade when the sun chose to peek out from behind the rainclouds once more.
We stood and watched for a while as the rest of the procession ended and I couldn't resist taking a snap of this lovely caravan.






All in all a very enjoyable day and the streets were packed despite the rain.
