Blogspot is up and running!!!!!

After spending 3 months in George Town, with crummy internet service, but great entertainment, I am finally able to post our adventures. We were able to enjoy the 5th Annual Bahamian Music Festival. It was a 3 day affair with plenty of music, from local musicians to the famous Bahamian muscicians. Pictured below is Lester with one of the best taxi servies around!!!!!!!!!! His call number is Taxi 12 (after the great Roger Staubaugh). He also owns a resturant and bar at the Fish Fry. During the day time plenty of fun around the Regatta Park,

but I will tell the story according to the pictures. Below is the Grand Marshall of the Junkanoo Rush on the opening evening of the Festival. He said I looked better in the hat than he did so he gave it to me!!!

Here is a member of the Junkanoo playing the barrel drum.

Niki, off of "Nice Butt" being interviewed...

the Blues Couple...

the Blues Sisters Brenda off of Brendaries and Niki off of Nice Butt...

the Exuma dancing man. He is at every event and dances all day. Incrediable!!!!!!

Maypole Plaiting...( remember this mom ?)

local dance schools show off their struts...

and Stevie S singing his Bahamian tunes!!!! He is one of my favorites!!!!!!!!!, and it was so much fun to see and hear him perform....




and this is one of the local groups that I did not get their name. (Casey, do you recognize their shirts?)

After the show, (which lasted to 2AM and yes Clay and I stayed for the whole thing!), they had a wonderful fireworks display. It was a great 3 days with plenty of memories made.
All is well on the waterfront and now that I am in a good hotspot I'll be posting more later.

Until then....

The Happy Cruisers
