Gasparilla will never be the same for me since The Captain passed away. He always said he was a pirate and Gasparilla was the sign he was meant to be in Tampa with me. Our first date was going to the Gasparilla Night Parade. I will forever think of Gasparilla as The Captain's holiday.
One of the things that makes Tampa unique is the Gasparilla celebration, a festival similar to Mardi Gras with a pirate theme . . . best to check out the video . . . click here.
