Up to a clear sky.
Breakfast - Grandma would be proud, we tried black and white pudding - though only I know what is in it and haven't told them yet. We put on our Paddy's day tat - as they call kitchy junk here and kasey painted our faces for us
Headed off to find a spot to watch the parade, set up camp at the begining of Parnell square. it filled up pretty quick, thousands and thousands of people. Really well behaved people. Very different to anything I've been to before - can't really explain it but hopefully the photos will help you understand. Cooper caught the eye of many many girls in the parade who all wanted a kiss - see photos.
An hour and a half later it was over, we and the thousands of people throughout Dublin headed off.
The boys watched two games of rugby back to back while Kasey and I went shopping with lots of drunken locals and tourists - all pretty well behaved and lots of police around supervising.
