Well, as we mentioned yesterday, Santa had a busy social calendar this past Saturday, because 3 hours after the Kittery parade got underway, an even bigger celebration stepped off in downtown Portsmouth. We made our own "extra-yummy" hot chocolate and headed off in hot pursuit!
This parade highlighted, among other things, the breadth of our maritime heritage around here. At one end of the spectrum, the crew of the USS Virginia, our neighboring submarine...
...and at the other, Club Finz, the local Parrothead/Jimmy Buffet Fan Club.
It was a great parade, and made even cooler by all the commotion afterwards, which included sidewalk musicians, amateur astronomers, and even a gaggle of Ron Paul supporters. The conservative blimps (tehe) parted as we strolled over to the telescopes. Soon we were talking with some very friendly astronomy buffs, and taking in amazing views of Jupiter and the moon through their extremely fine telescopes!
By the way, you might be wondering what everyone besides Charlotte is looking at in the photo above? The beautiful Christmas tree across the street!
And finally, we'll end, like last night, with a unique picture of the Big Guy himself-enjoy!
