Rush Hour

Yesterday Karen and I ventured downtown for a little retail therapy which is of course plentiful here. When we arrived, downtown was flooded with people and the Valley Boys Junkanoo group parading down Bay Street. These are a few of the pics I snapped. It felt like a huge street party. They were much more informal than Christmas time. But the music just rings through your whole body. "Rushing" as it is referred to, is simply the act of participating in the parade as part of the group and dancing or playing an instrument. Thus rush hour is this impromptu parade through town.
