For those of you who do not know, I’m a million percent West Indian! And in pure Caribbean culture, we love us some Carnival!!!
For all y’all who don’t know what carnival is, it’s an annual celebration of life and independence found in many countries of the world. Trinidad's carnival is a beautiful example of how carnival can unite the world. People from ALL OVER THE WORLD flock to the island of Trinidad just to participate. Just think of a HUGE moving block party full of happy people (playing MAS), women in beautiful feather costumes, great music, dancing and most importantly, RUM! Yeah, I said rum, we love rum dammit, don’t judge us! Wonderful, beautiful meet for the very first time and have the BEST TIME EVER. At carnival, you leave all your worries behind. No one cares about your financial status, what you do, where you live or what you drive. People are there to just have a good time.
From cooler fetes, flag parties, to Jouvert, to carnival day, it’s literally a five day non-stop , back to back celebration! This is the time, some of us hit the gym to get our bodies right to endure the long day in the heat while drinking and dancing, in addition to wearing those tiny outfits! It is by far one of the BEST times of my life since I was a child! So enjoy the pics below, of all the carnivals my friends and I have participated in all over the world. **WARNING** This blog is full of pics…
