Carnival 2011




The drum lines.

Just fascinating:  Cape Verdeans painted black, "pretending" to be "African."  Oh, the paper I could write on this one!  Seriously:  fascinating!

Their costume:  mud.

This cutie-pie decided she wanted to watch Carnival with us.  So, she did.  When she was tired, she took a break and sat on my feet eating popcorn.  Nice.

The theme this year was the seven wonders.  These guys were Rome.  My seamstress, Dona Milo, made these costumes! 

Egypt

This picture gives you a good idea of the size of the floats.  They were really beautiful.
