Hello America

Continuing with my shots from the Opening Ceremonies of the ITU World Triathlon. Just prior to the parade starting I came across a family who were trying to find a good spot to watch from. I pointed out where the start of the parade route was and they made their way over there. A few minutes later I walked over there and joined them. This is John and his daughter Carson, John's wife Tammy was busy taking pictures. They arrived in Edmonton the day before from San Antonio. John and Tammy's son is a member of Team USA.
We had a great time talking while waiting for the parade to start.
