St. Patrick's Day started with a drive from Richmond, VA on I-85 to my home, and from there, a afternoon motorcycle ride to Charlotte, NC. One of my favorite places to visit took this photo on what was a remarkable day on the "last weekend of winter" with temperatures in the 80's, and very sunny skies. It was the best day of the year to ride; so far at least. Photo here was taken near the Bank of America Stadium. I posted a few more photos on my "Racing with the Wind" blog. While in this area walked past the site which is hoped to be where the new Charlotte Knights baseball stadium will be built.
Took this photo of the St. Patrick's Day crowd. Looking down it was pretty well packed from that point on-a solid wall of people. Some of the outdoor bars were jammed with people elbow to elbow, and most of them bending those elbows with some of the fine beers of Ireland and other places around the world and of course from America. It was a pretty impressive time there, and enjoyed the visit.
It is now Spring officially as I write this; have been enjoying some wonderful Spring weather in the RVA for the past few days. Looking forward to a great weekend here, in both Charlotte and Richmond events will be taking off with the change in seasons.
