After a very cold week at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa, I headed to Chicago for a weekend with Amanda, my college roommate. Little did I know, the dying of the river was happening that weekend, along with other St. Patrick's Day festivities.
On Saturday morning, Amanda and I met up with some of her friends to walk down to the green river. We were a little late and didn't actually get to see them dye it, but we did get to see the end result, a very green river!
Amanda and I at the river!
Me, Amanda, and a few of her medical school friends!
You didn't miss much when you arrived at Chicago The dying of the river is just a couple of city workers in speed boats dumping green dye from card board boxes. One year I got stuck in traffic for two hours. By mistake they threw boxes and boxes of Viagra over board and all the bridges popped up.
