i love the shriners. i really do. don't fool yourself, there's no secret handshake. and they were all ready for a parade here in portland last night. seems there's a big thing here - no entirely welcomed by the locals - called the starlight parade and 250,000 enter downtown to watch it....i guess it's kinda like the fireworks in vancouver. and people really seem to love it - those who attend anyways. they line-up for hours - like 12 hours and more before hand to have a front row seat to the floats that course their way around, seemingly, every street in downtown portland. we chose to exit downtown in plenty of time to avoid the floats and such....i did like seeing the shriners hanging around though....love those guys. long before the parade we were eating mexican goodness at la bonita on alberta st. (maybe the only thing in portland i'd actually line-up for...) the weather was wicked here yesterday but has turned today but that's ok...more shopping, more mexican, more shriners...
