SpiceMas 2010! CARNIVAL - Jouvert

This past week was SpiceMas 2010, a.k.a. Carnival, in Grenada.  It was a little over a week filled with competitions and celebrations from August 2nd - August 11th.

Here are some pictures from Jouvert, a paint parade in the streets of St. George's that starts on the second Monday of Carnival around 5:00 AM and continues through dawn.

3:00 AM before the fun started, having a few beers at various bars in St. George's

Around 4:00 AM the Carib Team bus arrived with our yellow paint

It started with a layer of yellow

We found the red team from Bananas!

The sun is starting to rise...

And we found our friends Sherry and Monty!

 
A video clip of us celebrating at Jouvert

Based on our colors, I think we joined every team!



Here's the blue team!

Not a real gun, in case you're wondering.  Just part of the revelry!

A local with a University of Maryland shirt! I was thrilled to see this!

The sun is all the way up now!

Looking back the way we came

Taking a rest with some water

The parade continues on down the street

 How we looked when we arrived home at 8:00 AM...CW is almost clean under his shirt
