Caribbean Carnival 2011

After many years in DC, I finally made it to DC's Caribbean Carnival, which winds down Georgia Avenue NW every year.   It felt like DC's own Mardi Gras, although with fewer beads.  Adding to the air of festivity was the smell of hundreds of barbeques emanating from the sidewalks and side streets.  Slideshow:



Later in the day we popped down to RFK to watch DC United play Houston -- an exciting game that led to a disappointing draw.    We ended the perfect summer evening drinking margaritas outdoors at La Lomita down at 13th and Penn SE.
