Over the weekend we took in the largest St. Patrick’s Day parade west of the Mississippi River. This parade, of course, takes place in Denver, Colorado and this year had 236 entries, and over 10,000 marchers. To put it in perspective, it started at 10AM and at 2PM it was still going. We watched a good chunk of it from a parking lot along the route, complete with lots of green clothes, lots of beer (none of which was green), and loads of laughs. I wish I would have taken a camera with me, but I forgot to grab one in our hurry to get out the door and downtown. I don’t know if there are really that many Irish in Denver to explain such a large celebration, maybe it’s just the city’s love of beer.
