 NEW YORK (AP) - Tourist Joan Morgan paid the ultimate compliment to revelers in the St. Patrick's Day parade Monday.
"It's much more Irish than at home," said Morgan, who is from the village of Kilcoo in Northern Ireland and had snagged a prime viewing spot across from St. Patrick's Cathedral to watch New York's annual celebration of all things Irish.
Firefighters, police officers, high school and military bands, step dancers, men in kilts, and many Irish-for-the-day snaked along the parade route to the wail of bagpipes on a sunny but chilly day.
