Either that, or I actually do have a lot to say but have not organized my thoughts in a way that will be coherent to you.  I think the latter is the case.  The point is that right now, I will have to leave you high and dry &#8211; almost &#8211; but not completely.  Too much has been going on, and there has been so little time to have it all written down.  In the mean time in between time, here&#8217;s a picture from an Island carnival I attended on Sunday in downtown Miami.  Was my first carnival.  Never seen so many people go buck wild.  Nawa oo.  What&#8217;s funnier and crazier is that I was told (by our friend from Trinidad &amp; Tobago) that the carnival in downtown Miami was small compared to the real one in Trinidad.  <b><i>What?!?!<\/i><\/b>  And apparently, that one is wilder too.  Whew.  Doubt if you&#8217;ll be seeing me there anytime soon.  I&#8217;ve always known that there is so much life and culture that I am yet to experience, but attending this carnival just made it even more obvious.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">This girl was a very determined dancer.
