OH...Golo and Tony carry on the tradition of the Three Kings!!!

That is the nicest thing I've read from you too in a while!...

Well, here in Miami we are celebrating the 32nd Annual Three Kings Day Parade on Sunday, Jan. 12 along the famous Calle 8...from 4th through 22nd Ave. with a music festival afterwards...

The co. I work for has been putting this parade and festival together since 1970, when Castro declared no more holidays in the island... We have been having toy drives for the past month, and we are distributing the rest of the gifts for needy children during the parade...

It started really small, but it has grown to over 500,000 people attending every year...with lots of floats, marching bands, the usual politicians, athletes, and best of all...real live camels and the Three Kings...

This year the Grand Marshall is none other than Gilberto Santa Rosa...

So if anybody is around this part of the world this weekend, you're welcome to join us...I'll be parading also in a convertible, and taking pictures...Maybe I'll post some next week...
