Today was a very packed St. Patrick’s Day, not nearly as packed as my days filled with dancing from venue to bar, but quite filled nonetheless.
My friends Tien, Sammy and I went to the outdoors celebration near the town hall in Copenhagen to hear some Irish music and see some irish dancing. Due to this being our first legal St. Patrick’s Day, Sammy and I decided to try some Guinness.

Unfortunately, we were unable to sweet talk our way onto the stage to dance with a Swedish (Irish) band, but it was still fun to see some dancers dance the Traditional Set Dance, St. Patrick’s Day on stage before us.
Then, Tien and I had a DIS sponsored free Canal Tour that we ran to catch. It was a special event that allowed a whole slew of students to see Copenhagen from a different perspective, on the water. We also had some wonderful entertainment/tour guides of eloquently dressed Drag Queens.
We had a blast just hearing their wonderful commentary on the city and waving to the people on land.

The last part of my day involved meeting back up with Sammy. Her mom had requested us to make sure we did a treble reel together, film it and send the video to her. I can happily say, we were successful, but I am not posting the vid here. Instead here’s a lovely pic of Sammy with the obligatory green beer we (both) had in celebration of the holiday of good ol’ green-luck.
could food coloring actually make beer taste better?
