Carnival 2008...Posted by Neil and Moni in grenada, carnival |
For those of you who missed it, this years Carnival was as good as, if not better, than last years' celebration.
This year we took my wife's sister, as she had never been to Carnival before. Can you imagine, a teenager, living in Grenada, who has never had a chance to jump up for Carnival? There is something not quite right about that!
Anyway, we decided to start her off lightly by taking her to the Jouvert celebration.
It was much better organized than last time around.
The weather cooperated nicely and we had a few short showers to keep everyone nice and cool.
Lots of colour this year...usually in the form of body paints! We made sure to introduce Amanda to the joys of brightly coloured makeup....(get paint on hand, apply liberally to any exposed body parts, including hair and face.
Stand back and admire the effect. Enjoy the screaming accolades coming from a shocked teen. Repeat often.)
