Street Dancing!!! April 6, 2007

One of the many things I love about being in Ireland is going for long walks and listening to people performing on the street.The music is simply ‘Magical’ , takes you to a different world altogether.I have many such evening walks or night walks that I cherish.The walk last night was the best.

I wanted to go when the sun was out(before 8 ) but left office at 9.I was planning to go walking alone, but bumped into Bal on my way out,he was returning from the gym.He joined me and the both of us went walking to the city.We walked talking about personal,local,national and international topics(hehhee…I did all the talking).

When we reached Shop Street, we saw the usual crowd around a regular street band,I think they are from Spain or France.They play the drums and their music is very good and usually attracts crowds.But yesterday was Special.

The people on the street were more, coz it was Thursday and that added to the crowd.We joined in and listened.I was sooooooooo tempted to dance but controlled coz I dint want Bal to be standing there with my hand bag n coat while I dance, like what happened at Spirit in Dublin.Hehehe!!

All of a sudden a large group of school kids appeared,dressed in Red with large musical instruments in hand.They were from California and were visiting Ireland to perform in a parade(I wonder which one thought….Paddys day was last month).They marched by so the music stopped for 2 minutes.After they left, the music continued.A minute later, the whole gang came back and positioned themselves right in front of the othe goup facing them…the rest is simply undescribable….all i can say is ….WOW…!!!Ill upload the videos n snaps that we took asap.

Note: Bal ended up standing on the street while i danced, but this time i danced with my bag…;-) !!!
