About this blog:
We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...
And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.
Using anything published here without permission is violation of the law and... it isn't really nice...

Lake City - part 5 of Independence Day trip 2015

We still were walking along the streets and enjoyed the town when we heard the bell rung. That was the time and we returned to the main street...


We joined the crowd just in time and found a bellman, who pronounced that the Declaration of Independence was recently signed in Philadelphia and the states now are independent from British crown...


I think all the parades in the small towns are pretty much the same... They all look nice and homey. Everybody knows everybody. They all cheer each other on and look like a big family. The parade usually starts with some veterans who carry the flags.





The Harley bikers are usually the next, and the firefighters, the sheriffs, ambulances, small local businesses, families, athletes, students and so on, so on, so on...










Some juggles and clowns, some life pictures from the history and scenes from Wild Wild West times and some historical persona from the town...











Some horses and some tractors... They all are well dressed and invariably affable. We love these parades and always enjoy staying and looking at these endless groups of friendly people.















Y'all know what I am talking about so... I guess the pictures might give you a better impression than thousands of words.









Pictures were taken on July 04, 2015.
