Tampa-Gasparilla 2012






Sally and I went to Gasparilla 2012.  Great parade with a lot of bead throwing then on Sunday we went for a bike ride up the coast. Good time and I think we will go back. 


Thanks,
Gregg

Shanghai Map with things to do in the city

After I returned I found this map in some paperwork from the hotel.  The map is printed on odd sized paper so the scanner could not get the complete map.  When you look at the tourism items along the bottom, I have been to:

 

Pearl TV Tower - Did not go up

World Financial Tower – Ate dinner at the top

AP Plaza – Bought fake memory cards - Doh!

Yu Garden – Beautiful and a lot to see; until you see the large Haagen-Dazs and Dunkin Donut signs in the square

The Bund – Beautiful at night

Nanjing Road – people, people and more people

Xintiandi – Very hip western area set in old Shanghai

 

I did not realize how well I have done when it comes to the official tourist places.  I really need to buy a book and learn some more before my next tip.
