Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated worldwide by those of Irish descent and increasingly by non-Irish people (usually in New Zealand, Australia, and North America). Celebrations are generally themed around all things Irish and, by association, the colour green. Both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green, eating Irish food and/or green foods, imbibing Irish drink (such as Irish stout, especially Guiness, Irish Whiskey or Irish Cream) and attending parades. This day was celebrated on 17th March 1737 the first time.
Because we missed the large parade in the city's downtown which attracts over 100,000 spectators we decided to meet friends and be "Irish for a day". And it was Sascha' s birthday!
While we were standing in line to get into this favorite Irish pub, we received all this promotional stuff. At 6 we thought it might take a while to get in..and we had some "starbucks coffee" (which was golden and had a nice latte crown)?!! ;)))))
After 2 hours it wasn' t that funny to stand in line still and we already had a couple of drinks, it was very cold, so Kai and I left and went home to have a hot tea....Next year we definitely meet earlier to party inside!!!
