Virginia City, Nevada

 

The road twists & turns

towards Virginia City.

There are cars parked on both sides of the road as we enter Virginia City.  There are people everywhere! Many are wearing green.  It's Saturday, March 15....  The Saint Patrick's Day Parade is about to start.

Antique & classic cars

 are lining up.

Fourth Ward School
built in 1875

A trio of leprechauns 

Some cars show off 

their engines.

St. Mary's Knights of

Columbus commandeered

this Jeep.

This woman sports a parasol

in the bright sunlight.

I catch a shot of Eric in front

of First Presbyterian Church,

built in 1862.

People are starting to line 

the wooden sidewalks on 

the parade route. 

We come across a woman

window shopping.

The Nevada State Fireman's

Museum is housed in the old

firehouse, built in 1864.

Many buildings have second

story porches.

In some spots the crowds are seven and eight people deep.  I see candy and coins fly over peoples' heads as the parade passes.

People on the second story
porch have a great view
of the parade.

Motorcycles line

the street.

It was a beautiful day
for a parade.
