I have never been to the Daffodil Parade before today. In fact, I told my Dad I didn’t think I’d ever been to a parade my whole life—he reminded me of those parades in Disneyland. Well, I think those were a bit different.
We got there, set up chairs, and walked around to look at the people and places downtown. I like wearing sunglasses in such environments—too many people in one place makes me nervous and so, they’re like some shield for me. And perfect for people watching.
I’d say my favorite part of the parade were the bands that marched well and the clowns. And the soldiers marching along, so solemn and robotic.
Afterwards we went to McDonalds to buy fries and coffee. I said how very American I felt, going to a parade then to McDonalds, and my Grandma said, “Well, they have McDonalds all over the world now.” How true.
i’m glad you enjoyed it. =]
i don’t think i’ve ever been to a parade either, i guess i’m just in them…but i enjoy watching the people from my end. the little kids who have to cover their ears and the old ladies who dance to the music. its great.
