Home, Sweet Home

Gasparilla

Gasparilla is an annual festival that occurs in February in Tampa. It celebrates Tampa's mythical invasion by a pirate named Jose Gaspar (don't ask questions). There are floats and lots of drunk people on Bayshore Blvd. Its good fun - try it!

Sunshine Skyway Bridge

There are plenty of bridges in the Tampa Bay area. But the sunshine skyway bridge differentiates itself from others by virtue of its "cable-stayed" design. It is a beautiful 6.4 km long bridge that connects St Petersburg to Bradenton. This picture was taken from a cessna piloted by my friend Nick.
