St Patrick's Day
The next morning I got up early as usual. I did my workout (I have done it every day this week!!), took a shower and prepared breakfast for Terese - yummie!
Then we drove Madde to the T (she was going to Vermont and Montreal) and went into Boston for St Patrik's Parade (Irländska nationaldagen).
A map over the parade route. They started at 1pm. We thought we were early leaving Newton Centre at 11.45, but there were already many people out there. Lori said it would be "crazy" at St Patrick's day but I didn't realize how crazy crazy was, but the T was full after our stop and we stood packed like I don't know what. And it got even worse...
The T:s were soooooooooo crazily packed and more people came all the time. We were in the frontline and still had to wait 3 trains until we could board because of all the passengers. We got squeezed in the train and we had to wait for like 5 minutes just so the guards could clear the yellow line between the train and the ground. The people were just CRAZY!! I have never ever experienced anything like this - but it was fun to see!
So one of the things with this day is that you have to wear green - people wore green clothes, hats, glasses, jewelry, scarfs, wigs, makeup etc. Another thing is that you are "supposed" to drink pretty much all the weekend. Nothing we could do, ofcourse, but I think it's fun with drunk people as long as they don't scream and behave like jerks.
I wondered what to wear, but then I realized that wasn't a problem (it was the wrong green, but it's still green!) - leatherjacker, knitted sweater, pants, and even green converse - go St Patrick!!!
The pictures can speak for themselves. It was so worth it and we had so much fun in the crowd. Everybody was happy, drunk and wearing something green. Great day!!
