Coney Island Mermaid Parade 2014!


This is over a week late due to browser and internet problems that slowed down the download of all the pictures I took, but anyway...Mayor DeBlasio and his family have to be by far the coolest political family of New York for not only coming out to this parade, but dressing up! I was quite surprised when I realized the tall man behind Chiara and Dante, being pushed in the cart, was the mayor and right beside him was his wife Chirlane! So cool! It was a beautiful day and great way to kick off summer, even though I ended up getting burnt, literally to a crisp on my shoulders. I did go buy sun screen to prevent this in the future.


Chiara and Dante DeBlasio, queen and king of the parade.

The result of standing for over two hours in the direct sun! Now my shoulder looks like a burnt piece of coal it got that dark!
