St. Paddy’s Parade?
Alexandria’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade is pretty all inclusive.
Beer, that’s not unusual at all. Port City is our local brew and quite tasty. And plenty an Irishman has been fond of his pint.
And, or course the politicians have to be in the parade — that’s just traditional
Other entrants are harder to see the Irish connection…
I’m quite sure there have been Irish immigrants to Bolivia, and Bolivian immigrants to Ireland. But I would not have thought St. Patrick’s Day was a big deal in Bolivia.
That said, I liked the change in music, and Bolivians can more there hands and arms when they dance (almost seems like cheating).
I’m not sure about the Irish connection to the 501st Legion of Clone Troopers. (Robert says when they became Storm Troopers they were no longer the 501st — and he would know.)
