We decided to do the daytime event instead of the night stumble parade when Mamma Guava comes out. I dont think I can handle the hard rock music and drinking any more. It used to be salsa bands and street vendors, but it has changed a lot.
7th Ave Ybor City, Tampa's Latin Quarter, Cuban cigar capital of everywhere. The art vendors were on the next street.
A girl from the Florida Wildlife Organization.
Mr. Magnificent Vulture.
Poor Mrs. Turkey just wanted to go home and sleep
A Kite
A children's dance troupe
R2 D2 I guess. Hmmmmmmm? Well, this guy was having fun anyway.
Best costume there. This young boy was scaring the stuff out of the smaller kids. He had a creature on his shoulder that moved with a cord behind his back.
The Amtrack goes right through town. I have never been on a train. Ships, planes, trollys, etc. but no trains. My dream is to someday take a trip on the Orient Express.
Bye, Bye train.
My own Mr. Wonderful who puts up with my oddities and idiosyncrities...syncra...syn...well, you know. We had a pressed cuban at the Grotto Cafe, sidewalk style. We did the John's Pass Seafood Festival Sunday but took no photos. It was the same ol, same ol, but I had a fantastic grouper sandwich. And hey....it's stone crab season. Yum!
That's all folks.
I'll be back.
Maybe.
Probably.
Don't forget to vote.
YUM! You got me with the grouper sandwich! I had my first one when I went to Florida for the first time. HB introduced me to them and it was love at first bite!

Hi Judie. Sounds like you had a great time.The sandwich sounds really good. I've never been on a train ride either and I am going to. I'd like to try the Napa dinner train and then the Amtrak leading to a destination.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post, Judie! Love the celebration...and thank God for the Mr. Wonderfuls of this world!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour. I may have to change my view of Florida.
