JUNKANOO is a must!


Well, as you can see, even the Bahamas are excited about Obama. These are photos from the "Junkanoo" parade held both on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas. The Slaves Freedom Day to celebrate the Christmas holiday since they had to spend the real holiday in servitude to their masters) and on New Years Day. The parade begins at 2am and goes for about 12 hours. We only made it a few hours but loved every minute of it. It is related to Carnival and now I hope to experience that someday to compare. The music, the rhythms, the costumes...all AMAZING!
