Starlight Parade

This evening was the Starlight Parade,
the second day of the yearly Rose Festival. The festival starts with fireworks
on the first Friday night in June (I went downtown for this too), and has float
parades on both Saturdays. So today, I dragged Alexis and James downtown to the
carnival, where Alexis went wild at the sight of all the kiddie rides. The
three of us met Chandi for dinner at Alexis Restaurant, where we dined on some wonderful Greek food. I had a
salmon steak, and the sauce was fabulous. The proprietor told us that the
Rose Festival was the slowest night of the year; despite this, he still had a
pretty full lower-floor dining room. I am going to put that restaurant down in
my book of flavorful and decently priced restaurants to go to in the future.
