<p>We live in the borough of Brent which is the most ethnic diverse in England and also the place with <a href="http://www.brentbrain.org.uk/brain/brainzones.nsf/0/64D238F3629945CE80256E1D00477274?opendocument&#038;Z=5">most Irish people</a> in London. Wednesday last week was the real St. Patrick&#8217;s day which meant they put on a parade right down the street from us.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mogello/4454655743/" title="Crowds at Willesden Tube Station by gelle.dk, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4028/4454655743_d8bccf7f86.jpg" width="500" height="355" alt="Crowds at Willesden Tube Station" /></a></p>
<p>Around <a href="http://www.brent.gov.uk/home.nsf/news/LBB-1082">6000 people</a> came out and celebrated everything Green, Guinness and Irish and it was quite a show. It was great to see not just the Irish but everyone celebrating. Like these kids which looks anything but Irish playing the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodhr%C3%A1n">BodhrÃ¡n</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mogello/4454670199/" title="'Irish' drummers by gelle.dk, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4024/4454670199_fd8753cdd8.jpg" width="500" height="339" alt="'Irish' drummers" /></a></p>
<p>I also enjoyed the fact that the lineup before the actual parade was in front of the local mosque. Here with a truck with the title of an Irish rebel song called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follow_Me_up_to_Carlow">&#8220;Follow me up to Carlow&#8221;</a> which is a celebration of an Irish victory over a 3000 men English army.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mogello/4461528219/" title="Irish Paraders line up in front of the mosque by gelle.dk, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4019/4461528219_381eca3112.jpg" width="500" height="374" alt="Irish Paraders line up in front of the mosque" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://re-photo.co.uk/?p=952">Peter Marshall</a> the photographer was also in Willesden Green and as a lot more <a href="http://mylondondiary.co.uk/2010/03/mar17-01.htm">photos from the event</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring has arrived in London and so have the green people of the St. Patrick&#8217;s Parade.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mogello/4433121720/" title="Big costumes by gelle.dk, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4433121720_75215b58fa.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Big costumes" /></a></p>
<p>Yesterday the sun was out and the bagpipers where filling the streets of central London with Irish tunes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mogello/4432356945/" title="Another bag pipe band by gelle.dk, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4052/4432356945_603309fd96.jpg" width="500" height="341" alt="Another bag pipe band" /></a></p>
<p>Not all of it was particular Irish. For instance the most cheerful act was Hare Krishna worshippers playing, singing and dancing down the street.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mogello/4433133190/" title="Grooving paraders by gelle.dk, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2710/4433133190_a31cef6679.jpg" width="500" height="391" alt="Grooving paraders" /></a></p>
<p>Other than that it was a parade of big hats, green cars and white legs.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mogello/4433111402/" title="Glasses and hats by gelle.dk, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4066/4433111402_628cbd6d5f.jpg" width="500" height="334" alt="Glasses and hats" /></a><br />

<p>Ann had <a href="http://annuca.wordpress.com/2010/03/14/and-the-girls-are-in-town/">four Maltese friends staying over</a> this weekend and the parade was the Sunday out event before they all went back home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Torsdag aften var vi et par stykker der snakkede om at tage til Chicago. Vi havde ikke tid til at planl&aelig;gge s&aring; meget s&aring; det blev en improviseret tur. Fredag aften drak vi lidt, s&aring; en videofilm og gik tidlig i seng, s&aring; vi kunne komme op n&aelig;ste dag kl. 4 og k&oslash;re til Chicago.<br />
<a HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mogello/111682730/" TITLE="Photo Sharing" ><img SRC="http://static.flickr.com/35/111682730_3e85dca88f.jpg" ALT="Dawn on the road" HEIGHT="375" WIDTH="500"></a><br />
Det var en fire timers tur og vi ville v&aelig;re i Chicago til &aring;rets store St. Patricks Day parade (St Patricks day er f&oslash;rst den 17.) Vi havde lige glemt at vi krydser en tidszone s&aring; vi havde ekstra god tid. Det gav os tid til at se solopgangen ved Lake Michigan i <a HREF="http://www.michigan.org/travel/detail.asp?p=g13079" >Warren Dunes State Park</a>. Til turen havde vi Frederiks <a HREF="http://www.dodge.com/magnum" >Dodge Magnum</a>, s&aring; vi var godt k&oslash;rende. </p>
<p><a HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mogello/111682524/" TITLE="Photo Sharing" ><img SRC="http://static.flickr.com/19/111682524_f5224856e6.jpg" ALT="At Warren Dunes State Park" HEIGHT="375" WIDTH="500"></a>
</p>
<p>F&oslash;r paraden gik i gang havde vi tid til at g&aring; lidt rundt i byen og bes&oslash;gte Sears Towers og Millinium Park. Vejret var herligt og vi kunne  til tider g&aring; rundt i t-shirt. Gutterne jeg var afsted med er fra venstre Martin og Frederik (begge fra Sverige) og Mike fra USA.<br />
<a HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mogello/111690839/" TITLE="Photo Sharing" ><img SRC="http://static.flickr.com/44/111690839_e3d5e8da4a.jpg" ALT="" HEIGHT="375" WIDTH="500"></a><br />

Og s&aring; gik det ellers i gang f&oslash;rst farvede de Chicago River gr&oslash;n &#8211; <span STYLE="color: green;">og jeg mener <strong>virkelig</strong> gr&oslash;n</span>.  Langsomt begyndte byen at blive flyldt op af mennesker i gr&oslash;nt og senere startede paraden, hvor foreninger, politkere, firmaer og marchbands gik igennem byen.<br />

<p>Efter det gik vi p&aring; jagt efter et hotelv&aelig;relse, men det var umuligt at finde et v&aelig;relse til under $200-$300 (!), s&aring; vi tog tilbage til bilen og tog en lur.<br />
<a HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mogello/111707234/" TITLE="Photo Sharing" ><img SRC="http://static.flickr.com/49/111707234_c8befd5ad4.jpg" ALT="Getting ready for a nap" HEIGHT="375" WIDTH="500"></a></p>
<p>Herefter fik vi arrangeret det s&aring;dan at vi kunne sove i Mikes onkels k&aelig;lder et stykke udenfor byen, s&aring; med en &aelig;dru chauff&oslash;r tog vi ud i byen. Vi tog p&aring; en r&aelig;kke forskellige barer &#8211; den fedeste var <a HREF="http://www.hob.com/" >House of Blues</a>, hvor man desv&aelig;rre ikke m&aring;tte tage billeder. Senere p&aring; aftenen tog vi p&aring; <a HREF="http://www.worldsbestbars.com/city/chicago/the-signature-lounge-chicago.htm" >Signature Lounge</a>, som ligger p&aring; 95. etage af Hancock Tower med udsigt over hele byen.<br />

<p>Endelig sluttede vi af p&aring; <a HREF="http://www.thecheesecakefactory.com" >Cheesecake Factory</a> med noget godt at spise inden vi tog hjem.<br />
<a HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mogello/111715428/" TITLE="Photo Sharing" ><img SRC="http://static.flickr.com/48/111715428_152c0aff4c.jpg" ALT="Chesscake factory" HEIGHT="500" WIDTH="375"></a>
</p>
<p>Jeg havde altid troet at Chicago var som en hvilket som helst anden storby herover, men i mods&aelig;tning til Minneapolis og New York, synes jeg m&aelig;gtig godt om den efter at have bes&oslash;gt byen. </p>
