>> MOLLY: Hey I’m Molly >> KAYSHA: And I’m Kaysha.
>> MOLLY: And we’re the Travel Lushes! Today we’re in Savannah!
>>KAYSHA: We’re here because Savannah has the 2nd largest St. Patrick’s Day parade
in America. We’ll show you the sights and sounds of this celebration.
>> MOLLY: This 3 hour parade consisted of over 350 units including several US military
divisions, colleges, universities and tons of award-winning bands. You were certain to
see a little bit of everything at this lively St. Patrick’s Day parade.
>> KAYSHA: So we’re here in Forsyth Park and this is actually one of the gems of Savannah.
What they do here a week before the St. Patrick’s Day parade is dye all of the fountains in
the city green so you can really get into that Irish spirit before the parade begins.
This park is absolutely lovely. There’s people here, there’s a guy playing the guitar,
the couple behind us is totally making out right now. I love it! I gotta be here. You
should come next year.
>> MOLLY: And you know your St. Patrick’s Day wouldn’t be complete without a traditional
Irish beverage.
If you appreciate a good beer like me, then a pint of Guinness is the way to go. This
frothy, bittersweet goodness is pretty heavy but goes down smooth. Dark beer not your thing?
Drop some green dye into your beer of choice to make it more festive.
For the liquor lovers, I recommend my 2 favorite Irish classics. First, we have Jameson Irish
Whiskey. It was originally established in Dublin in 1780 and its motto means Without
Fear. You can drink it straight, on the rocks, with a little bit of soda or water, or my
personal favorite with gingerale.
Secondly, there’s Bailey’s Irish Cream, a versatile Irish liqueur that really packs
a punch. Pour some in your coffee for a delicious nightcap or drink it on the rocks. Enjoy it
by itself or use it as an ingredient in different recipes, like a Bailey’s shake.
And there you have it. Next time you’re looking for a fun place to celebrate St. Patrick’s
Day, venture out to Savannah. Just be sure to get there early as these festivities attract
a HUGE crowd. Parking will get more difficult to find the longer you wait and be prepared
for long lines at the porta potties. Until next year: Slainte! That’s how you toast
in Irish.
