Tampa offers a Halloween/Mardi Gras activity every year in Ybor City called Guavaween. This year we decided to spend our money to see all the excitement. Many blocks were fenced off so costumed revelers could wander up and down the main street carrying their choice of libations. Around 8 pm the parade of crewes on various "art vehicles" began. Throwing a string of colored beads at observers is the object of the participants in the parade. Catching and collecting as many strings of colored beads to wear is the object of the observers. Afterwards there were three stages for a costume contest and lots of music.
Some of us did not get dressed up....

ReplyDeleteYou guys are SO CUTE! Boy this parade reminds me of another festival in the desert. A bottle of wine between the two of you? What fun. I agree with Karen's comment, you two never miss a thing, always doing. LOVE that you post your travels.
ReplyDeleteLooks like your were right up there saying throw me something judges by your necks. When I lived in Louisiana when I was a kid we went to many parades and Mardi Gras. We would come home with our necks, wrists, ankles filled with beads. Looks like you guys and a great time. What a place for people watching.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like good fun. I loved the pictures. You asked about the eggs. You'll need two. I've corrected the recipe. Thanks for pointing out the omission.Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
