After cheering on the team at the dragon boat races, Bella and I headed back to the streetcar and went downtown for brunch at Brasserie Montmartre. They have outdoor seating and the weather is a perfect sunny 70 degrees so it was a nice way to relax and enjoy great food. Then it was time to hop on the MAX and go back down to a different area of the Waterfront where flower covered floats from yesterday's parade are on display.
The engineering isn't as sophisticated as the Pasadena Rose Bowl Parade but the floral covered floats have amazing detail and design. Similar rules apply so the floats must all be covered with natural materials such as seeds, grasses, flowers and even spices. It's always fun to be able to see them up close so, instead of fighting the crowd of over 100,000 people at the parade, I enjoy just waiting until Sunday to see them.
Roger is busy cramming for two final tests on Tuesday so now that I'm back home, it's time to pamper him with some food and tea.
