We were almost two full months into this adventure by the first of March. We were finally learning our way around this huge place, and starting to explore more. On March 1st, Lane and I spent the day at the Dallas Zoo.
 |
| We had a nice day checking out all the sights and animals. |
 |
| The obligatory elephant picture. |
 |
| I think this was Lane's favorite picture of the day. We were really close to this guy. No camera zoom here. |
Then on March 15th we got to see a different kind of Dallas zoo. A people zoo.
They have developed a tradition here of having a really big Saint Patrick's Day parade. It runs down Greenville Avenue, which is just the next block over from our apartment.
 |
| This is taken from the entrance to our parking lot. As you can see, by now the flowers had already been blooming. |
 |
| Lane loves flower pictures. |
 |
| Traditional sights you may expect to see in any parade... |
 |
| ...as well as some less traditional. |
 |
| As I understand it, they let anyone and everyone in. Even part-time storm troopers. |
 |
| And who knew - Elvis has been hanging out all this time on Greenville Avenue. |
 |
| Brian H., if you ever read this blog, I took this picture just for you. It speaks for itself. |
More House-boy and his traveling nurse adventures to follow.

The parade was awesome! Bizzare on a whole but worth the time we spent watching. We heard the parties at the end were even better.
