Everyones Irish on March 17th! Unless...youre not.

St. Patrick's day weekend! FUN FUN! My cousin Clayton came in from Wales to visit the city and we had a really good time together. They got in Friday evening and the next day was spent hanging out in a local pub while it rained steadily till early the next morning. That evening I watched my first Rugby game between France and Wales. It was cool to see them win their 8th straight game...or I think it was 8. Im not really sure. They had one extra bed in their hotel so I was able to stay over that night. The next day I tried my best to show him and a few of his friends around the city. Playing tour guide is hard! But I enjoyed it. We found a very expensive store that sold polo shirts and some badass canes.
Exhibit A:


We then went into an expensive bubble bath shop. After capturing this failed attempt at an "eating soap pose" we were told pictures were not aloud. It must have been very expensive bubble bath.


St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's day was pretty cool. There was a large parade which was pretty impressive. I havent seen too many parades in my day but this one was among the best. It was hard to see things at first due to the large crowd so Clayton and I went to find a better place to see over everyone.


An accurate picture of St. Pat:






This one looks better when its larger, but you get the idea. Before we found our fence to sit on, seeing much of anything was difficult.






Clay took this badass picture:


After the parade we invited ourselves to sit down at a nice restaurant to make some sandwiches.


Peanut butter and jelly seems to be a running theme in my trip...



Oh yeah...and the trash boat...literally.

And before you ask...yes that is a bathtub.
