St-Patrick's day involved a short amount of preparation, a few firsts, a bit of drinking, and a whole lot of walking! What a tiring weekend it was, but oh so worth it!

| So many people!! |
The firsts involved dressing all festively for St-Patrick's Day, learning to make a fish-braid, and wearing fake eyelashes! I felt soooo girly! But it was worth all the prep as Judith, Tra and I made our way downtown to meet up with Alex and Fabian at Trinity Bar on Dame street (where the parade would go right by us while we were warm and dry indoors). Judith and I were too eager to be in the heart of the action however, so we made our way outside and found some posts on the sidewalk which we could perch on. Turns out we became attractions of our own as countless people stopped to take our picture while walking by! I guess two pretty girls all decked out in green make for good pictures!

The parade was themed science around the world and was good craic. We also had our first beer of the day at 11 sharp! Afterwards, we all went to Alex's place, where Samuel joined us and played Kings while watching our first Six Nations rugby matches; first Whales beat France and then, unfortunately, Ireland lost to England. But it was still quite exciting!
We wandered back out into the chilly night at that point, stopping to do dance along to some street performers on Grafton street, then making our way over to the Shelbourne Hotel where we listened to a rather eccentric pianist play and sing songs from Elton John to Queen! We finished the night off at Diceys nightclub with some dancing and, or course, more drinking; even getting free beer in my little cup hung on a string of beads (I knew I bought that for a reason!).
And that wasn't all as Judith, Fabian and I made our way over to the fairgrounds on the Sunday to enjoy some sunshine and toffee! Overall, what I would deem to be quite a successful Paddy's weekend in Dublin.
