I’m still playing catch up {story of my life}, so I’ll keep this post short. From mid May through mid June Pensacola celebrates its history with a celebration called Fiesta of Five Flags. There are parades, parties, community events and admittedly a lot of people dressed up in weird costumes. It’s our version of Mardi Gras and there is really no way to make sense of it if you don’t live here – many people who live here still don’t get what the fuss is all about! Truthfully it’s a time for me to see a bunch of friends, do some volunteer work and have fun. What is there is to “get”?
For the 2nd year in a row I volunteered on the costume committee with 8 other ladies. We helped the fiesta court look their best for all their events and on the last night we went with them and 100s of other people to the Coronation Ball. It was fun to get dressed up and dance with Albi some and my girlfriends more {Albi was content letting me make a fool of myself on the dance floor while he watched from the sidelines!}. Here’s to another year celebrating Pensacola’s history :)
