Boston

On Sunday March 20th 2022 there was a big parade in Boston, USA, resumed after Covid-19 had cancelled the previous parades.

Chicago

 In Chicago, USA, the river was dyed green for St Patrick's Day, which is celebrated on March 17th every year in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and by the Irish and friends and onlookers worldwide.

The Moon & Sixpence is a pub which serves food as well as drink. In addition to the seats at the front, there are dining tables inside, and tables with bench seating in the garden at the back.

What can you learn from this photo? The building has sash windows. The lower part is built of brick, London red brick from London red clay.

The orange, white and green flags are from the Republic of Ireland. What about Northern Ireland? Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Flying the Union Jack doesn't quite convey the same seasonal Irish message.
