The rest of our time here in St Petersburg/Tampa Bay is about enjoying this beautiful place that we are living in. Enjoying the fact that it is 80 degrees outside in January, that people can drink in the middle of the day and that people will do anything for ... beads. This is the story of Gasparilla.
So there was once this pirate names Gasper. He, supposedly, was one of the people to first settle in this area. He came to the bay around 1900 ... I have to look it up. Anyway, this last weekend in January is always celebrated... Gasparilla. We, thus far, had never been to the festivities. This year we decided to check it out. I'm glad that we did. We had a ton of fun. :) These are some pictures.
