Santa Monica Main Street 4th of July Parade

Here's to the American spirit and celebration of 4th of July.....

Uncle Sam appears on bike to greet the crowds.

Red Cross - when you need them.

Santa Monica is a beloved community, with loads eco -cars and a bent for planting gardens and buying local.  Boyscouts, Brownie troops, Meals-on-Wheels, torreadors and sega-driving mayors were all part of the mix.

Young, old, dogs and good humor was all a part of today's festivities.
