August 31st was Independance day in Trinidad and Tobago. 48 years ago they obtained independance from Britain and every year there is a parade and fireworks to celebrate.
The Parade starts at the Savannah with the armed forces, coast guard, fire service, police, mounted police,red cross nearly all of them have a marching band.
We found out that the parade came right past our appartment building and finished at the Police Academy which we overlook from our balcony. Doug & I took our chairs and joined the locals to watch the parade. We took bottled water as it was so hot but these Trinidadians like to party and although it was only 10 am they were all having a good time. One man standing next to us had a bag with a bottle of whiskey, soda, cups and a huge bag of ice. His group really were enjoying themselves.
I am surprised you didn't take your box of red down with you :)
