Crashing a Tea Party

After a wonderful morning touring Minneapolis, Adolfo and I decided to check out St. Paul. Adolfo set his GPS for the State Capitol and off we went. After finding a parking place, we walked to the Cathedral and around a very ritzy neighborhood where such famous people as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Upton Sinclair, and Garrison Keillor have lived. After an hour or so we made our way down the hill toward the Capitol. There we found a gathering of people.



I wonder what’s going on, I thought just as Adolfo noticed the Don’t Tread on Me flags.

“It’s a tea party” Adolfo announced with glee, noting the date. For Adolfo this was a perfect photo opportunity. He nearly started running toward the crowd.



We spent about an hour there taking photos and dodging news cameras. I didn’t want to appear on FOX news or have them interview me. We were both a bit afraid of being found out as “liberals” among this group of conservative anti-government types.
