Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade - 2009 : I went to the 2009 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I arrived at 40th Street and 6th Aveniue at 8:20 am, where the crowd was already 6 deep; two hours ahead of the parade reaching that point. It's always a glorious and fun parade. Many balloons, great marching bands, erstwhile "celebrities" and happy crowds. This is a snapshot of current US culture. Help us All!!

We shared a magnificent house in Princeville with Wes and Jo-Anne Wallace, Wes's sister, Jane, Niece Amy and friends Steve and Jane Frasca from New Hampshire. We had a great time for the week.
