Super Bowl Madness




The New York Giants won the Super Bowl (American Football) on Sunday. They were the underdogs so the victory was that much sweeter (for those who care about that stuff). Today, there was a victory parade for them and it ended at City Hall which is opposite our apartment. Pandemonium right outside the door. No joke. Apparently some people have been waiting since 11pm last night - not sure if I believe that, but there are some freaks out there. The players didn't arrive in the 'hood until around 11.30am but the first shot outside the door is from around 9.30am. Don't these people have to work? And, with many folk only getting two weeks holiday a year is this really worth taking the day off for? Different strokes for different folks I guess. The other photos are from the roof.

I'm with you - I hate big crowds like this (like the annual Haloween parade), and who has to pick up all the ticker tape? Maybe I'm a grouch. But I did love watching the game - so exciting!!.
