Sunday on the beach and at a parade

I desperatly wanted to got to the beach today. It really got hot and humid in New York over the last couple of days. So I just put my stuff together and went to the N train to get to Coney Island. What a joy to have all subways in the city air conditioned!

Before going to Coney Island I stopped by the "Salute to Israel Parade" on 5th Avenue. The sun was burning down on everyboy, I walked around a bit and took a couple of photographs before jumping on the train again.

Arriving on Coney Island was interesting as well. The crowds of people already started when coming out of the subway. I walked around the beach front for a while, stumbled through the amusement park of Coney Island watching people and entertainers trying to get visitors into "Freak" shows. Before I left I passed by a Puerto Rican band which played in front of the beach. Nice Latin music, good vibrations, people dancing on the boardwalk and Puerto Rican flags everywhere. Well, the Puerto Rican Day Parade is coming closer and closer. If you are in New York check it out next Sunday between 44th and 86th street on 5th Avenue.
