Some pics from our recent trip to Ireland for St Pats Day. Our travels started in Dublin, where we met up with 20 odd kiwi mates for a reasonably large evening on the guiness and catch ups at the Long Hall and Roady Bowlands pub. The following day we all jumped on the lunch time train with a few cans to Galway, where we would celebrate St Pats day. We travelled out to Kinvara a small rural settlement on the coast (40 minutes out of Galway) for St Pats morning. They put on an amazing St Pats community parade mainly consisting of farming machinery, animals and school children with hurling sticks, classic. Then spent St Pats evening back in Galway with our Kiwi/Aussie/American flash mob. A hell of a weekend.
