St. Patrick's Day

Although I come from a town where people are proud of their Irish roots, I have never been to a St. Patrick's Day parade. As I learned that here was held was one of the largest after Dublin and New York, I decided to watch it.

Now only could be seen typical costumes from the Irish folk but also from some of the biggest communities of foreigners in Munich: Perú and Bolivia. There were plenty of people but the atmosphere was not really that of a celebration, the public didn't sing or applause and most of the participants didn't seem to enjoy the event. Anyway after the parade I went with some friends to an Irish pub were we spent a good time.
