The whole day on the Road for Carnival in Poison… we played in the section called Alisha

Of course, us getting up early in the morning and thing is something else, since everyone had to get ready… and that was the funniest of course… the pics of getting ready in the morning is here…

Well this is us on the road on Carnival Tuesday– this was early in the morning. Now one thinks that getting costumes and all… is a difficult process –

Well lemme tell you.. to get to this stage isnt really that tough, what is tough is coordinating between a bunch of people across different countries — with this in mind… my Carnival 2006 plan will include all thoughts and e-mails to give people an idea of what planning is required and what you should think about when going to Trinidad to play mas!

Now Trinidad is a funny kinda place…. in that because we have such a big mix of people, we have everyone of all cultures, creeds and races
So for example: here is a our local white people

and as AliG says.. they look real fit! 🙂

Of course people train all year to look good for Carnival…. not me this year…. too much time spent working..lol.. but check the abs on this thing

Abs of Steel

Now when foreigners come down and see us wining down the place and thing.. and see people going all how… they wonder how can the trinis move like that…

Well check these people on the stage
