ten minutes before the parade started they let all these school children in in front of our barrier! Dang it. So, the children would not have been a problem because we were at least a head taller than them. But...all the teachers with them....yeah, pretty much did not see a single thing. Oh well. I am not one of those people who gets super excited to see famous people. So, I enjoyed the atmosphere and talking with the people around us.

It was cool to be there but not something I feel inclined to do again.
