Today is Carnival Tuesday and I am in California.

My beautiful costume will not be worn by me today.

However in my soul I can feel the music, excitement, merriment, laughter, camaraderie and joy of being with family and friends on the streets celebrating.

I can imagine  enjoying  a scotch and coconut water and a good goat roti and doubles – let me not forget the doubles!

Next year I will be able to “Mash down de place”
