Programmet for min tur var tæt pakket, og tirsdag morgen havde jeg altså en 3-4 timers køretur til Savannah hvor jeg skulle opleve USA's 2. største St. Patrick's day optog.
Jeg kom frem omkring middagstid, og optoget havde været i gang i et par timer.
Jeg mødtes med nogle andre GRSP'ere som også havde taget turen til Savannah for St. Patty's - de havde allerede været der siden kl. 7 om morgenen for at få en god plads langs optogets hovedgade.
Optoget varede i over 4 timer, så det levede helt sikkert op til at være stort, men meget af indholdet var kommercielt, og altså ikke helt at sammenligne med kvaliteten af optogene i New Orleans under Mardi Gras - hvor reklamer er forbudt :-)
Efter optoget var vi på besøg hos en rotarianer som havde holdt en lille St. Patty's fest, og inviterede på en lille bid mad og en drink.
Da festen sluttede ved 3-4tiden hyggede vi os i en af Savannahs mange parker, inden vi crashede en tilfældig collegefest :-)
Aftenen sluttede omkring midnat - jeg skulle nemlig tidligt op dagen efter...

The schedule for my trip was pretty tight and Tuesday morning I had a 3-4 hour drive to Savannah where I was going to experience the 2nd largest St. Patrick's Day parade in the US.
I arrived around noon and the parade had already been on for a few hours.
I met with some other GRSPs who had also taken the trip to Savannah for St. Patty's - they had been there since 7AM to get a good spot along the main street of the parade.
It lasted for more than 4 hours, so it definitely lived up to being big, however it was very commercial and not nearly as interesting as the parades during Mardi Gras in
New Orleans - where any commercial content is banned :-)
After the parade we visited a rotarian who had had a small St. Patty's party with snacks and a drink.
When the party ended around 3-4PM we hung out in one of Savannah's many squares before crashing a random college party :-)
The night ended around midnight - cause I had to get up really early the day after...
