Still waiting for the Green Flash....
We have an evening ritual in St. Croix and that is to watch the sunset at a beachbar. This is the wrong time of year to see it, but supposedly if the sun falls into the ocean and there is no clouds, the sky flashes green. I am still waiting to see it and they tell me it IS real. So until then, I'll just drink my coconut rum and pineapple juice and wait.

We watched 'tramp' the other night. A police car followed by a big generator run truck with a 12 person band on the back slowly made its way down the main street of Fredricksted. It was not the old style scratchy band, but a new bass induced electronic version of it. On both sides, it is reviving an old tradition and making it popular with the kids. There were hundreds of people following the truck and dancing all the way to 'the village.' The village is the carnival attractions, food booths and a stage for entertainment. We had some great roast pork with Sazon rice and sweet potato and a side of conch in butter sauce. The ginger beer was also quite tasty, but too sweet. Next time, it gets a shot of rum! So thats life so far during Carnivale in St Croix. I will bring my camera next time so I can leave you all with some pictures, although I don't know if I can post until I get back to Florida.

Cheers and Happy Holidays!
