St. Patrick's Day

I love St.Patrick's Day! Is my favorite saint! We had a lot of fun, but still I missed my green beer and a parade. We arrived around 4:30 in different groups. We were supposed to meet at 2, but oh well. At least is such a small town that we are bound to run into each other. We had a Guinness and our faces painted with the famous clove. It was funny trying to explain that we wanted a green clove in French to a German! We figured that after... The show was free until 6. Some guy made an announcement in English, French, and German that if you got in for free you were not allowed to come back in for free, you had to pay the 12.50. Than was big shock because after a pint of Guinness, the weather and just the saying that you can't go to the bathroom, makes you want to go to the bathroom! Our dear friend Virginia wanted to go to the bathroom right after the announcement. She sneaked out through the backstage curtains went to the bathroom and came back in!!!! We were starving and she later confessed that she even had some chicken McNuggets on her way to the bathroom!

The first band we saw was The Old Firm from Netherlands. They were good! The poor singer was working so hard to motivate the audience. It was impossible because the few people that were there were more interested in their Guinness than in the music. Then we saw an Irish Dance troupe called Celtics Borders that came from Ireland and the Netherlands. They were kids ranging from the age of 7 to about 17 (judging by the size of their boobs…some of them should even be jumping up and down!). Boobs apart, they were very good dancers, especially this little chubby girl. Then came my favorite band from Limerick, Ireland Dublin City Workingman's Band. They were awesome and their accent was fascinating. I love Irish! My night ended here, but some others continued….
