This year I had the great experience of celebrating St. Patrick's Day in Ireland! As a group, we all took the bus to Clifden to see the parade. St. Patrick's Day here is very much oriented for all ages as children participate in the parade and all have their faces painted and are dressed in green. The parade in Clifden is not a large parade, but what is unique is that it goes around the city three times! It was very cool to see the floats, some of them were very political, one made fun of the royal wedding at the end of this month.
After the parade, we went to Aldi to grocery shop. After everything had been scanned, we were told our total was 336 euro!! Heather (my roommate) and I freaked out because we have never spent that much on groceries and did not know how we had accumulated so much when the most expensive this we purchased was 4 euro. We looked at the receipt and saw that we were charged 199euro for a bag of potatoes!
After Clifden, we all returned to Tully Cross to celebrate the rest of St. Patrick's Day.
