Caribana Fire Coral V2 Xpats "Fire Coral" Caribana Vol.2
August 2008


One photo album is never enough for Caribana. The difficult part is getting photos of everyone and not duplicating the same scene... When the rain came in the morning, the camera had to be putaway, eventhough there were exciting moments. But.. that story stays on da road! [<--click photo]

August 2008


The Trini angels must have been watching over us!

The section looked stunning! A fabulous day after all. [<--click photo]

Xpats JumpUp Xpats Carnival JumpUp

There's only 1 sure-fire way to get ready for Carnival and that's to warm-up your winin' and dancin'. A big crowd came out to Clarkson Community Center, jumpin' to the sounds of Wukkup and his crew. It may have been bitter cold outside, but nobody knew or cared, cuz it was real hot inside! [<--click photo]
