Well, the green here isn't the same as the green anywhere else. I think Hawaii has probably the lowest % of Irish people here but people here certainly want to party like they've got Irish blood! There was a block party here where a street which had a couple of Irish bars, O'Toole's and Murphy's, was closed off so people could wander in and out of the bars and carry their drinks onto the street. There was a beer tent, sort of ,that also had some food. Good old corned beef and cabbage sold next to some sushi...only in Hawaii. While there were plenty of people sporting green shirts, pants, hats and logos painted on their faces, there was no green beer...but plenty of Guinness and Jameson. There were so many people, it was just too much for me. I was getting squished and couldn't see much of anything above everyone's head.
What's a good block party without some rain to fall on the good times...had flash downpours for about 15 minutes, where it would stop then start again...we didn't know what to do, should we wait or should we try and go for it. By that time I was starving and needed food! You know how I get when I'm hungry!
How did you spend your St. Paddy's day?
