ALWAYS A GREAT EXPERIENCE, AS THE DAY BEGAN WITH YOURS TRULY NOT GETTING A SINGLE OUNCE OF SLEEP I REACH THE CORNER OF MISSOURI AND GEORGIA AVE TO PREPARE TO EMBARK ON THE JOURNEY WE LOVE TO CALL CARNIVAL, THE STREET WAS FULL OF PEOPLE AND VARIOUS BAND DJS AND MASQUERADER ARE ALL COMPETING TO SHOW WHO'S BEST. BUT UNDER IT ALL THERES A HUGE FEELING OF UNITY IN THE AIR, AS WE THE PEOPLE OF THE ISLAND THE CHILDREN OF SLAVES JUST LIKE OUR AFRO AMERICAN COUNTERPARTS ALL COME TOGETHER IN A CELEBRATION OF OUR CULTURAL DIFFERENCES, BUT OUR ONE UNIFYING LOVE FOR THE SAME HERITAGE.
TO BE ON TOP OF A TRUCK AND LOOK DOWN THE ROAD AND SEE NOT JUST ISLAND PEOPLE, BUT AMERICANS OUT THERE ENJOYING THE CULTURE OF THERE BROTHERS AND SISTER, WAS A FEELING LIKE NONE OTHER. TO SEE THAT IN THESE BRIEF HOURS OF MUSIC BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, WATER, RUM, AND EXCITEMENT.. THERE WERE NO CONFLICTS NO ARGUMENTS, NO DRAMA, LAST YEAR THEY HAD THESE STUPID BARRICADES UP THE WHOLE LENGTH OF GEORGIA AVE THIS YEAR IT WAS FREE AND OPEN LIKE I REMEMBER IT TO BE ON MY FIRST EXPERIENCE.. ALL IN ALL DC CARNIVAL WAS GREAT THIS YEAR, AND IM PATIENTLY WAITING FOR NEXT YEAR....UNTIL THEN TORONTO HERE I COME...
