Weekend Parade
OK, so the weekend is long over and the next one right around the corner, but I didn’t have time to do any blogging last weekend. The only ‘eventful’ thing I did last weekend was go to the Puerto Rican Day Parade. I’m not sure how many years it’s been going on, but as far as I know it is one of NYC’s largest annual parades–40 city blocks down 5th avenue were closed off last Sunday. And let me tell you, I’ve NEVER seen so much red, white, and blue in all my life. Thousands ands thousands and thousands of people waving their flags around, or for the more hard-core sporting their ‘national’ threads. Apparently Mark Anthony and J Lo were there, but I didn’t see any of that action. Actually, the stop I decided to get off on the subway was very disorganized and I couldn’t even get very close to the street to see the floats, etc. up-close, unfortunately. It was fun for an hour or two to get out of the house and celebrate part of my heritage, though. Next time I just have to remember to bring the camera. d’oh!

You never forget your camera! Me and Jabba are going to have to have a talk about this! He only has to learn one word…”Camera”!
