Coney Island Mermaid Parade
With no prior knowledge of the Mermaid Parade, it was listed as a local event on Google Maps, so we decided to check it out. Little did I know it would be prove to be one of the most fruitful day-journeys of recent memory. In the harsh sun, the area was bursting with color--left and right people were dressed up for the festivities, or just enjoying the beach on a weekend.
