Parades are big in the USA and definately big excitement in this household. I have been told, marching bands, drum majorettes, floats, the list is never ending!
We arrived at our reserved spot with believe it or not, not only our ground sheet still in tact but nobody on it, despite tons of people milling around, i was gobsmacked! Where in the world do you think you could go and save a space on a pavement 12 hours a head of time expect it to still be there when you returned later. Only in America!
Sally marching over to where our untouched ground sheet is and Mark looking back.
The parade was about two hours long, with tons of different things and people take this very seriously and there is great support. See the link for some pics of the parade!

This is great! You're experiencing true American culture which I think we'll miss a bit when we're there in New York. I think we used to have parades in Cape Town but that tradition has died off somewhat. :P

I am jealous and I miss you!!
take care of yourself! keep the posts coming!
