Well... between the raindrops (and huge downpours) this week, Grenada's Carnival parade finally made an appearance on Saturday! Scott & I met friends at the Tropicana on Tuesday thinking that the rain would pass in time for the start of the parade at 1:00. Unfortunately, the downpours continued... at least until word got out that the parade would be postponed until Saturday. In the meantime, we met a great couple who is also living here... Chris & Beryl (from the UK). Turns out that Chris is "Hogan of Grenada" who reports on the weather at the Grenada link on the Caribbean Hurricane Network.So we went back yesterday to do it all over again (fully loaded with my camera backpack)! Although it rained a bit in the morning, the rest of the day turned out to be just beautiful! The streets were buzzing with spectators... and some very, VERY loud music! (Of course, we came prepared with our ear plugs!)
The photos posted here came from our new friend. (Thanks for sending them to me, Chris!)
Here's a little slide show with some highlights...

Watching the video makes one want to get with the beat, even for a non-dancer like me. Looks like you had a fun day.

Crystal, I think we exchanged smiles near Tropicana during the parade on Carnival Saturday... Next time I'll make sure to stop and say a proper hello. :-)
