All the participants dress in very elaborate and colorful costumes. Lots of steel drum music plays and there is island foods for sale. It's really a wonderful sight to see!<br /><br />Wishing you a very happy, healthy, and prosperous 2010!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209877942576268533.post-74455577947961524872009-12-30T16:56:10.099-05:002009-12-30T16:56:10.099-05:00Such an interesting post!
