GASPARILLA !!

The pirates are about to attack!!

The City of Tampa has quite a celebration in late January.  It seems to have something to do with people, pirates, beads, lots of food, and copious quantities of alcoholic beverages.


We have a nice view of the "invasion" of the pirates weaving down Sneddon Channel, not far from our house.  It's always worth a jaunt to see the scene.  Watch out for the occasional patches of vomit.


The pirates are hanging all over the Gasparilla ship in the background.   They "land" and a big parade with various "Krewes" compete to see who can drink the most and throw the most beads.



There are lots of boats!  



People line the shore to get bead necklaces thrown from the boats. 

Put on your eyepatch!  Eat! Drink!  Be merry!

Aye Aye, Captain!
