On Sunday, still slightly tender from our Margherita filled Mexican dinner the night before, we met up with some friends to watch the annual Munich St Paddy's Day Parade.
We packed our beers and pringles and headed off, not quite sure what to expect...
I was thinking it would be a couple of drunken Irish men and maybe some beers... no no.
Leopold Str, the central street of Munchner Freiheit (a very trendy restaurant area close to the university) were shut down, police were every where, flags, hats, costumes and a sea of green.
So we snapped and pointed and drank, and then followed the parade along to Odeon Square which had a stage, some delicious food and LOTS of green people drinking Guiness.
Katie and I even got interviewed for a German radio station. I poeftered out and answered the questions in English though... I need a few beers before I am able to ramble off "im Deutsch" confidently.
Luckily, there's an Irish pub just around the corner where we were able to redeem our Guiness vouchers and get some Pear Ciders for the girls, (After Warren's 30th Bonanza, I don't do Guiness) and relax to the sound of the impromptu bagpipe band performance.
Now that's a good Sunday...
Happy St Paddy's Day!!!
