St. Patty's Day 2007

St Patty's Day- March 17- is very popular in Aussie. The tradition around here is that you go to breakfast at 6:30am at Dicey Reilly's. We had to wait in line to get in- there were hundreds of people there. They serve a large brekkie complete with eggs, sausage, black pudding (fried blood), toast, etc. There is also live music and festivities throughout the day. We got our face painted, collected our free green tshirt and tattoos, and headed into Brisbane for the parade later that morning. It was a great parade and there were heaps of people to watch. We saw many dancers, musicians, footy teams, fire trucks, etc. We were so Irish for the day..haha. It was alot of fun!!

This is at Dicey Reillys at 7am. Everyone is so festive!The parade in downtown Brisbane!
