Well Fernando, you could spread out all along the water.. I was over at the Maritime museum and it was a bit crowded but not too bad.. This was the only time they do the big parade.  Next stop for them next week is San Diego.

  So, Midnight where you located???

I was at the complete opposite end to the museum, as far as I could go before hitting the locked gate
