I was able to get a fair amount of work done yesterday considering
this was going on right outside my building. My office was nice enough to reserve us a sweet space on the third floor to watch the parade and to have a pizza party. The crowd of co-workers at the window was about 6 people deep, so I ventured out to a balcony overlooking the lobby to catch the parade. Here are some pictures - not really the best quality, but you get the gist.
Some photos of the crowd - you can imagine what a pleasant commute I had in the morning :)

I swear, there were more cops than parade. Good day to take up bank robbing in Philly, I guess.

After about 10 minutes of waiting for the police processions to pass by, the actual parade started!




I'm pretty sure the man in black wearing sunglasses is Ryan Howard. If I'm right, he's the only player I was able to pick out - and I therefore deserve to be featured in the MMMMM! Hall of Fame.

So, that's the parade in a nutshell. I'm glad the Phillies fans are happy fans and that they had a great parade, but if the Eagles ever win a superbowl, I'm calling out sick. :-)
