If you're getting run out of town, get in front of the crowd and make it look like a parade

Today was the annual Gasparilla day parade in downtown Tampa. After looking at the gloomy forecast, I almost didn't go,but decided to brave the rains and join the festivities. I took my camera, as usual, however the light was just horrible, so nothing really came out right (maybe I'm just become more selective of my shots now). I did get to see one of my old friends in the parade, but missed seeing the floats for a couple of other people I knew. After the parade was over I rode the bike along the Riverwalk area and then headed back to the Aquarium where I had parked.
