Here in T&T it's Carnival Time, Season of Bacchanal. Within the season there was the reopening of The Red House(Seat of Parliament) with much pomp and ceremony and display of national pride, There were school children in Woodford Square across the street looking on, good memory for them to carry into adulthood . The opening ceremony was carried live on TTT TV7. The Red House was closed in 2011 to be renovated.

  5. Celebration big time in your land. I'd like to be there for some. BTW, my SIL lost his Trinidadian citizenship, dual with U.S. The rules for dates changed and he fell out of bounds. He is trying to get it back but so far things are set in new concrete.

  8. How wonderful! Congratulations, T&T on the re-opening of your Red House! And Gillena, I love that every week, you introduce me to some flora or fauna that is new to me and I enjoy going to learn about it. The flame tree is extraordinary, flamboyant and aptly named.
