monday monologue - another parade


First 
let me say 
what I miss most about the weekends
 is 
my Fridaycation 

I am trying my best 
to do even more on 
Saturdays 
so I can have Sundays 
free 
to take walks 
should Toonman 
opt for exercise of the cardio type 
vs 
sitting and yelling 
at the football games 
maybe 
that is a form of cardio exercise 
it sure raises the BP 

I digress

Saturday 
I spent beautifying™
 and 
taking pictures 
of the 
Korean Day Parade/Festival  

I believe at least one reader, Michelle, 
was surprised 
there was a 
German Day Parade 

I found a website 
that lists 
by month 
the various parades 
in 
New York City

Click 
here 
if you want to see how many parades there are every month  

Of course 
there were 
traffic detours 
(I rode the subways where sharing the ride may be less odd then my last shared cab ride)
tie-ups 
(including one major closing of the Brooklyn Bridge 
which had nothing to do with parades and everything to do with protests) 
street closings 
and 
lots of police 
everywhere. 

However
there were
also
banners
flags



Smiles 
balloons 
crowds


floats 
with 
adorable 
costumed 
children


marching bands


the 
obligatory 
police barricades


and 
charming costumed greeters!



Sunday
we took a walk in the park



Thanks for stopping by
 its always fun to have you along on my adventures
