From about 10am on Carnival Monday, I come out to play, the Parade of bands, I am playing with Brian Mac Farlane in AFRICA!!!! That is his presentation this year and I cannot wait to hit the streets!!!
I collected my costume earlier today and I will be trying it on tomorrow, I'll update this blog with pics of me in my costume tomorrow, I am totally pooped but I had to post tonight because I am getting withdrawal symtoms from not posting!!
How is everybody!!! I miss you all! I visit as often as I can, I hope I dont leave anyone out!
If you are up at this hour you may be able to catch some of the Soca Monarch competition, it is streaming live here. This is of course at 1214hrs Trini time, I think we are an hour ahead of North America.
I moved to another area of my building, from here I can see when cruise ships come in, and our inter island ferry as well as it comes in from Tobago.

So as I mentioned my costume is actually authentic African wear, so there is no glam or glitter, but I like it and I am looking foward to being on the road this year having a great time, oh, because I am not wearing any make up, I edited out my face ha!

Hi Raquel, you must feel like you're on top of the world, I know I would. I can't wait to see your photos of the big celebration and what you decided to wear. I can't imagine having a view like that while working either. I had to work in a building with no windows period. After all the gala, drop by for an award I have for you. How I wish I could be there with you on Sunday. Since I can't, take lots of pictures.
Love Ya,
Chris
Hi Raxxy!
I'm all excited waiting to see your costume too! I love your pretty angel in her costume. I want LOTS of pictures and video.
That view - I wouldn't get anything done for noseying out of the window. Those little balconies? Are they in your building too?
Did you see MY view a few post ago? Bet you wish you could swap - not!
I could just eat that burger.
Hi Raxx!! That little girl is precious! But I want to see you!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
With that view from the office, I'd never be able to get any work done!
Oh, I cannot wait to see your Carnival outfit! I bet its fabulous! Your Carnival sounds like so much fun!
