Hello dear friends, wonderful people of this planet called Earth!
I'm a little bit back in business, writing another post about something that I love. This time we will have a different subject: parades, and even better, St. Patrick's Day parade.
As you may all know...or not...yesterday, 17.03.2013, St. Patrick was celebrated and it also marks Ireland's national day. Me being me, thought that this is a great opportunity to take lots and lots of photos and to hear great irish songs (deep inside me lays a small irish girl).
I got really excited about the parade, and even if no one wanted to go with me I went there all alone. The parade was announced as to be big, with 10 or so floats, step dancers and even cimpoi, aka the Romanian bagpipe.
When I got at the intersection between Calea Victoriei and Regina Elisabeta, there were like no people around, and I thought that maybe not so many people were going to come. As I walked towards Piata George Enescu, the starting place of the parade, I started to spot people wearing green and my heart grew a little bigger than before and it started to beat fast again.
There were people! Lots of people! People from news said there was 1000 people at the parade and I think they were right. I don't know when time passed because I was amazed by what was going on
around me that I lost track of time. I was running around from one side
to another to get a taste of the music and the people around me, to take
in the green and, of course, to take photos (I have around 167).
It was a really awesome experience, to actually take part of something that is so different and that is part of a culture you didn't came across before (I mean in real life).
I'm going to stop with the writing and let the photos and videos speak for themselves.
