remember when the giant lost his head?

today i was a part of history! if you live in dallas, you have one more day to do the same! i went down to the mhh bridge over the trinity river with two friends and we partook in the activities. there was a lot going on! here are some pics to share of the day!

we rode the dart to west end and walked from there-on the way, i saw this woman's cane and i decided that if i ever need a cane, i am going to trip it out with the most amazing artwork ever...maybe a comic strip or something...

when we got to the west end stop, i had to use a restroom, and there was one downstairs at chipotle's, and they gave me the code, but i couldn't figure out how to activate it...thought i was going to wet my pants

finally after playing with it for a minute, it lit up like Christmas and i punched in the code (thank goodness i hadn't forgotten it!)

i'm on the bridge!

female mariachi band-raquel knew the last song that they played!

from the center looking straight up (it looked cooler in person!)

one with the skyline

there were random people dressed up in peacock-mod-type suits

so we did a lot of people watching from one end of the bridge to the other! when we reached the opposite end, we looked for a spot to watch the giants parade (huge puppets of historical texas figures made by various neighborhood groups) we watched as several came by.

this was a priest...but from where i was standing, it kinda' resembled obama...but we all know he's NOT texan.

then i saw this one and it looked a lot like greta van sustern of fox news...

as we were watching the parade of giants draw to its end, there was one giant (i am not sure who it was), and due to the wind, his head fell off. they were doing their best to figure out how to fix it. i didn't see it from the front when they passed by us again. i saw it from the back, and i don't know, but he looked a little like he was moping...and watching the ground. it was messy trying to get back over the bridge with the parade moving through, but we weaved and bobbed and made it back over the bridge!

i had seen a food truck that i recognized! my friend robin skinner has advertised it on her fb page before, so i wanted to make sure i tried it out!

i got the trinity turkey on sourdough. it was quite tasty! if you ever see them around, you should stop in and give them a try!

i like the idea of eating from food trucks (it's mostly because i love watching the food truck wars on the food network!) so, after that, we made our way back. it was a full afternoon and just good to hang out with friends! when i got back to the apt, i went to the gym to lift some weights.

in america we celebrate the opening of bridges. and we keep making cool bridges that cost way too much, even though we don't have the money for it.
