3/10/2013:  My buddy Jay and I decided to go the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Baltimore today ....  What an experience.  We somehow managed to secure a great parking spot near the Basillica, then walked down to Mick O'Shea's, which Jay indicated was "Ground Zero" for the Parade.  I soon saw why.  It was a zoo .... and we still had 2 hours before the Parade would start .... Jay got us a beer (or two), I stood outside O'Shea's and took in the sights, taking a few pictures here and there.  The marathon soon got on the way, and Jay and I decided to leave O'Shea's and make our way to the Parade assembly area for some photography.  Well, we never quite made it, and soon found ourselves hanging out and watching the start of the Parade, which was great.  Weather was perfect, good crowd, it was simply a fantastic day. After the parade we went back to O'Shea's, enjoyed the great music being played by Donegal X-Press and had a few more of this brew called Guiness.  Can't wait to work on the pictures ....
