点评:I’ve always wanted to go to the Rose Bowl parade as I’ve been watching it on TV for years. However, trying to convince my boyfriend or friends to drive up to Pasadena from San Diego at 4:00 AM on New Year’s Day was not happening. So this year, I decided to go by myself. I met some really nice people as well waited for the parade to start.
The floats were beautiful, the bands were fantastic and the energy from the crowd was contagious. I’m also giving a shout out to the folks walking behind the horses picking up their poop..they were very entertaining.
I wasn’t sure about the logistics of going to a well attended parade, so I read a few reviews on Trip Advisor that provided excellent information on parking, taking the Metrolink and seating. I took the Lake Ave exit which put me at the 2.5 mile marker of this 5 mile parade.
I got to the parade route at 6:00 am and was able to set up my chair pretty close to the front row. Other than the cost of gas, I spent $5.50 (Metrolink ticket) to see the parade live.
I want to thank Trip Advisor Reviewer “RabePaul - Philadelphia PA” as I followed his logistical suggestions and he was spot on…take the 210 fwy, exit at Sierra Madre Villa and park in the Metrolink garage.
It was an AWESOME parade !!!!!
Tips:
- dress in layers; cold in early morning but warms up (typical SoCal weather)
- bring a chair or blanket to sit on
- bring snacks/water…a few places open for but coffee-long lines
- portable potties available/long lines
翻译:我一直想去参加玫瑰碗游行,因为多年来我一直在电视上观看。但是,我试图说服我的男朋友或朋友在元旦凌晨 4:00 从圣地亚哥开车去帕萨迪纳,但这个愿望没有实现。所以今年,我决定自己去。我遇到了一些非常好的人,也等待着游行开始。
花车很漂亮,乐队很棒,人群的活力很有感染力。我还要向那些走在马后面捡粪便的人致敬……他们非常有趣。
我不确定参加人数众多的游行的后勤工作,所以我在 Trip Advisor 上阅读了一些评论,这些评论提供了有关停车、乘坐 Metrolink 和座位的出色信息。我从 Lake Ave 出口驶出,到达了这个 5 英里游行的 2.5 英里标记处。
我早上 6:00 到达游行路线,能够将我的椅子摆在离前排很近的地方。除了汽油费外,我还花了 5.50 美元(Metrolink 票)现场观看游行。
我要感谢 Trip Advisor 评论员“RabePaul - Philadelphia PA”,因为我听从了他的后勤建议,他完全正确……走 210 号公路,在 Sierra Madre Villa 出口驶出,然后停在 Metrolink 车库。
这是一场很棒的游行 !!!!!
提示:
- 穿多层衣服;清晨很冷,但会变暖(典型的南加州天气)
- 带上椅子或毯子坐下
- 带上零食/水……有几个地方开放,但咖啡排了很长的队
- 有便携式便盆/排了很长的队
