Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

On to this weekend, Saturday was St. Patrick’s Day, and our best neighbors hosted a parade/party. After a relaxing morning, we headed over to the green and white balloons, a shamrock cake and an auto-rickshaw with green streamers and a hat… doesn’t every St. Pat’s Day parade have one? They also had a face painter that was quite good and did everything from the typical butterflies to a really good leprechaun. The crowd of course consisted of the hosts (first generation Irish-Americans), an Irish couple (really from Ireland), us, quite a few Indians, several Americans, a Swiss couple, etc… I am really starting to admire this place. How cool to see the diversity and the international ability to rally around cold beer and cake!
