St. Croix, VI Three Kings Day Parade 2010

This flower is so beautiful I had to post it for everyone to enjoy.  It should have been in the parade!
I started taking pictures where the groups were lining up.  Much easier to get closeups when the crowd is thin!

Everyone parades...mama's, kids, dads and even grandparents. Check out the 4  grannies below strut their stuff!  The music is loud and the crowd dances along, it starts late, goes slow, slow, slow and doesn't end till after dark.  It is the slowest parade ever.  Some parade goers lack patience and walk the route passing the masqueraders as they wait their turn to perform in front of the grandstand.  It is an all day affair but worth it in so many ways.  If you have never been it is time to come to the islands and experience a Cruzian Christmas the best in the world.  And that's just my opinion.
