Notting Hill Carnival

Every August people converge on London for the Notting Hill Carnival. It's the biggest carnival in the world, hosting one million visitors over the weekend! It's a Caribbean festival with Reggae music and Afro-Brazilian dance. You go to listen to the musicians and watch the parade and eat the yummy Caribbean food! Heath and I gorged ourselves on jerk chicken, goat curry, black beans, plantains and Red Stripe beer. We were in heaven surrounded by this little slice of Caribbean culture.

Here are a couple of pictures Heath took on his new cell phone



This is for you Kevin!


After Carnival Heath and I headed over the Thames to London Bridge to get drinks at The George. The George is famous for being the watering hole of Shakespeare and Dickens. Hopefully we soaked up some of their genius with our ale!
