If you haven’t been waking up hearing soca and Carnival music replaying from constant exposure for the past few weeks, you’re doing this whole thing wrong. If your clothes don’t smell like grill smoke from last night’s activities, you’re not a reveller.
If you can’t see flashes of colours as you carry on your daily routine – okay, that might be a sign of a serious problem, but you get the idea of where this is going. It’s about to be the second week of intense activity for Carnival and everyone involved. This is the week everyone is sick, getting better or just regaining his or her voice. People’s eyes are red from lack of sleep and they’re most likely wandering around during the day like an episode of the Walking Dead. Don’t lose hope, bacchanalists, jouvert is right around the corner and with it comes memories you will cherish for years to come and use as cautionary tales for your future children. Be strong and revel on!
