As we drove from Pacific Grove to Carmel and then to Monterey, people lined the sides of the street and waved, took pictures and video-taped the parade. It wasn't cheap, but it was a blast. We waved, wrist-wrist, elbow- elbow, and people on top of bridges shouted "Farfegnugen!" I think it would be nice if such events included more than the pointy and red... Cheers! Bill
