In #Trinidad wordt carnavalmaandag gestart met "j'ouvert" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J'ouvert), een optocht die midden in de nacht start en eindigt rond de middag. Gedurende de optocht is het idee dat iedereen elkaar smerig maakt met modder, verf, olie en noem maar op. We waren er in 2006 en mijn 40e verjaardag viel op op #carnaval maandag. Het werd een verjaardag om nooit te vergeten. Afijn, zie de foto’s. #Carnival #Jouvert #Vagebond2004
