Martinique, Carnival

Blake and Stephanie flew down to Fort de France to spend a week with us in Martinique. Their arrival was delayed because the volcano on Montserrat had a colapse of it's dome and continued to throw ash into the atmosphere to such intensity that all flights to Matinique were cancelled till the next day. Following are pictures of Carnival in Fort de France.

Cross dressing for carnival is common.



In the container is rum.

The streets were packed and went on till about 10 pm.
