Except for this one, put a few photos up that I didnt on my Flickr Photo Page (there is a link to that on this page) from the festival. Yesterday, took a very fun motorcycle ride under sunny skies and a temperature of 77 degrees....it was a lot (and I mean a lot) colder on this Sunday for the second day of the festival (and though I left before it happened, the promised rains also came.
Still, these are very cool (literally) events, and this is one of my favorite festivals. Good food and cold beer; Guinness and Harp among others. Those are some tasty brew.
Course there was Irish music along with the food and beer, and there were also men in kilts. Had to admire them, cause whatever the high was, it was not warm enough for that (though did see a few people...very, very few wearing short pants too).
Had a good time though had some Irish Chili which was good and different, and always fun to be in Church Hill.
Of areas in Richmond, Church Hill is certainly one of the most historic and one of the most interesting parts of the city. There is a lot to see and do there, and they have a lot of events during the year.
As you can see from this photo its called "Church Hill" for a reason, walked up this street to get to the festival, down it to the car was a lot better. Looking down this road is Shockoe Bottom, also a notable section of the city with a lot of history.
The city is planning to build a new baseball stadium there, though it is far from a done deal, but has been a big story here.
Will be interesting to see what the year brings to this area, and I am looking forward to some more great times in this part of the City of Richmond.
