Note: This blog is being written after our return home. 
Our tour driver/guide made sure we were in "off the ring" in time for the St. Patrick's Day parade. Killarney is the largest town in the area and the parade went on for about 2 hours. Once you've seen one parade you've seen them all. Well, sort of. The Irish have a quirky sense of humor as evidenced in some of the pictures. I didn't see their banner so I'm not sure what these kids were representing.
And this guy looked like a priest with a hockey (?) stick wearing a football helmet.
The float in this video was the "Meals on Wheels" float. Get it?
I think it was a taxidermy cow. At least he didn't mooooooove.

This float was dedicated to President Obama's first state visit to Ireland.
The parade is over; the crowds flooded into the restaurants, ice cream shops and the pubs.

Somehow, we were lucky enough to actually get a seat in this pub; happened to be where all the tour drivers were as well. This was taken hours after the parade -- when the bartender actually had a minute to take our picture.
