What I did this solstice

Time to catch you up a little on my summer. I visited family in the Seattle area and we saw the Fremont solstice parade. What a memorable spectacle! Go, if you get the chance.

Robots

These were not the only robots, but they were my favorites.

Naked cyclists

Actually, nude people on bikes started off the parade, as well as ended it. Seemed like hundreds of them, in varying amounts of clothing, body paint, and headdresses.

Besides all these, there were people on stilts, Ganesh, jugglers, huggers, Brazilian dancers…
