J'ouvert


As I mentioned in my previous entry, this week is Carnival. The Cultural Fair was yesterday, and they were playing music in Carnival Village until after 2am, then at 5:00 this morning, The J'ouvert Warm-up began with more loud Soca music. I could even hear the announcers over the intercom up in my apartment! From what I understand, the music will continue all morning, then the Carnival Troupes will line up, play music and dance all of the way down the waterfront and end around lunchtime. Everyone down here really is serious about Carnival, that is certain! I will try to post some pictures from the Parade on Saturday so that everyone can get an idea about what Carnival down here is all about.
