Parang Festival

This weekend, a large group of us volunteers took the ferry up to Carriacou to celebrate Parang...the Caribbean version of Christmas festivities. We relaxed and went to the beaches by day, then partied at the concerts by night and celebrated with the locals. Bands from all over come to play live music and perform their own funny parodies on Grenadian culture. We couldn't understand half the lyrics, but thankfully some of our friends helped with the translation. The most fun was actually just hanging out by the house playing games and spending time together. It was basically one big sleepover at Dan's apartment and was quite humorous considering 16 of us were living together for 4 days straight. It's cool to realize we're already becoming a little family down here though.
