I went downtown at 11:30 am. I enjoyed window-shopping until lunch.
After lunch, we walked around downtown, then a masked man in a building threw a lot of necklaces from the second floor.
I caught two necklaces, and I got a Statue of Liberty crown from another man.
When the parade started, there were a lot of people.
I had never seen this scene in Burlington, so I was surprised!
People were very excited and noisy. People in many cars threw a lot of necklaces, snacks, and other things.
I caught them, and I felt happy!
After the parade, I rode in a special bus for SMC students, and they were singing a song!
It was very noisy, so I felt culture shock, but it became a good experience for me!
Erina,
ReplyDeleteIt was good that a special bus was arranged for the SMC students. Next time you are in Burlington at this time of year, you should participate in the parade throwing the bead necklaces.
