4th of July, 2015 Party place USA

Enjoyed a beautiful bike ride on the paved bike path from Long Beach to Ilwaco...the beaches were already getting busy, folks enjoying a day at the beach and getting ready for the 4th of July Fireworks...flying kites...BIG KITES!!! BIG KITTY KITES!!!

Arrived in Ilwaco just in time to enjoy a Farmers Market at the Marina...

Stopped to watch some rather interesting looking performers at the Farmers Market in Ilwaco

And back at the Zoo in Long Beach....an even more interesting looking character....99% of his body is tattooed!!! Who does this?? and Why??

We had heard and saw fireworks since Friday afternoon, pretty steady all night and then it all began again about 8:00 in the evening....and then OMG!!!! Mayhem on the beach.......NON-STOP...fireworks going off like the "Finale of a Fireworks show"...over and over and over again ...for over 4 hours....cars driving on the beach...fireworks going off everywhere....Never before have we seen anything like this before....CRAZY AMERICAN 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATIONS !!!
