Nelson Christmas Parade

Orange tree with Santa on the roof.

amazing Bird of Paradise bush in this yard.

A banana tree in this yard but the bananas were already picked. I suppose Scotty’s banana tree will look something like this soon. (with bananas picked)

Mail box built into fence

nice motor home that looks permanent

Passion Fruit here at the Hostel.

I have been on the lookout for Trains since Keith has already been bugging me about the lack of TRAIN photos in the dog log. Well here is a photo of the end of the line Keith…. Maybe I will come across one, if I head the other way?

I am back in Licorice country… dang, they are just like the OZ’s folks and have lots of different kinds of licorice on the shelves. I cant do the black licorice anymore so I thought I would try the Raspberry one…. Not that good   L

When I made it back to the hostel they were just starting the Christmas Parade. It sure was a different kind of Christmas parade than I have ever seen. For some reason a lot of the people were dressed as clowns. I asked a couple of people if this was usual and they said people dress the way they want.

The Vikings showed up and I cheered!!! They had something to do with Brain Injury.

Jungle Christmas?

These young mothers has the reindeer on their strollers.

Not sure what this was all about but nice anyway.

Always nice when the Scotts show up to play

These dudes were on the front or back wheel all the time. Amazing what some bike riders can do. They are trials bikes.

Morris Minor always one of my favorites as my dad had one… a pickup.

Ah, the steering wheel on the ‘right’ side.

Witches and monsters in the Christmas parade? Yup..

The Mayor….

Nice little Santa helper eh?

Santa finally made a showing.

Manhole cover in the street.

This is just a part of the Free Range Eggs in the store.
