Sometimes, you can’t make something up this good if you tried.Today is the annual Gasparilla Pirate Invasion in Tampa. What that means is, the harbor outside of our hotel is full of boats, pirates and drunken people all there to have a good time. Oh yeah, and canons that are going off every other minute.
It’s one big party, which started before we even woke up today. It’s the Mardi Gras of Florida with beads, booze and everything else.
Between the loud music, the cheering, the fireworks and the canons – have I mentioned those yet? -- so much for the pre-game nap!Oh yeah, there’s at least two boats that keep blowing their horns.
When I stepped into the elevator this morning for breakfast, I rode down with a pirate and two of his lady friends - also dressed up in pirate-eque garb. Very interesting trip for the buffet.
This is quite the experience. At least the dads are enjoying themselves!
