Walking through the city after the parade. These windows to the underground structures are made inside a busy supermarket.
It was surprising that there were not so many people on the streets!

Other Pictures From Saint Patrick’s Day Parade In Dublin
I made tons of very short videos to capture the dynamics of the parade, and the easiest way to show them here is by embedding the Instagram posts. Take a look, and scroll through them – there are several videos in each!
Saint Patrick’s Day Parade In Dublin
It is very different from what we have in Chicago, and I am so glad I was here today! What an amazing experience!
Everybody asked me whether it was different from the Chicago Saint Patrick’s Day parade – and it was. It was a little bit shorter (two hours at any point of the parade route) and way less loud. The streets were not as crowded as in Chicago. There were fewer bagpipe bands and fewer Celtic dances, no politicians, no elected officials, and no political parties. Noboby was giving away goodies. There were many American marching bands – go figure! And there were a lot of beautiful floaters!
It will take me some time to post even a small fraction of pictures, just a few today!
First Day In Dublin
It’s great to see old friends after many years! It’s great to get to know a new country you never visited before.
All great. We took a long walk to the Lighthouse, visited the national Irish Gallery, when to Trinity College and saw the Book of Kells…
And St Patrick Day is tomorrow – I can’t wait!
