No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man. - Heraclitus

I 'had the opportunity to' get up early this mourning to attend a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Tampa Riverwalk project downtown. This is a big project being pushed by the mayor to revitalize the downtown community. It'll eventually create a user accessible pathway from near the Aquarium to a new development up Hillsborough River past the Preforming Arts Center. Several of the main movers et shakers were there to commemorate this first big step. Though the project is not expected to be finished for quite some time, it was important to provide a physical proof of concept that allows the public to get a better feel for the overall idea.

In the evening we went to the Florida Orchestra concert in the park near Tampa Stadium at Al Lopez park. It was a nice performance that had a fireworks display to coincide with the playing of the '1812 Overture'. After all the recent constant moving about, it was nice to just sit back, relax, and enjoy some lovely tunes.
