Carla said you either love it or hate it

I think she meant, if you are blind drunk, you will love St. Patrick's Day in NYC.  We clearly were not drunk enough.  It got scary.  Reports were about 2M watched the parade but I swear it was more than that.  I should have take some pictures because we saw some awesome costumes, but see above:  we were scared.

The only way to watch the parade (which is right outside).
