Happy St Pattie's Day

A large portion of my ancestry is Irish and my birthday is in March, so I LOVE St Patrick's Day, and apparently a large portion of Shanghai does as well. According to the Irish consulate Shanghai has the largest population of Irish people out side of Ireland. Saturday was the third annual St Patrick's Day parade here in Shanghai. In the parade there was a large green dragon and Celtic tigers. I wanted to take Bean to see the parade, but Dam had to work, and I did not feel confident enough to battle a crowd here in Shanghai quite yet, but there is always next year!
