You have to admire the tanacity of this young girl, she followed me down the river trying to sell her trinkets.I wouldn't mind I had already bought a few bags off her on dry land.She must have webbed feet as she was in the river some time.I only have to be in the bath 15 mins and my feet look like prunes.
Since the Festival’s inception, the Committee has focused on exposing the greater Delaware Valley to the beauty and culture of the various islands and creating an awareness of the great contributions people of the Caribbean have made, and are still making to the world, and to the Philadelphia and surrounding community. CFC is a central part of the Social and Cultural Committee of the Caribbean/American Association of Pennsylvania, Inc. (“CAP”), a non-stock corporation, incorporated in the State of Delaware.
The success of the Festival resulted from the efforts and tenacity of the formed “Caribbean Festival Committee.” CFC, which formerly comprised of representatives from participating islands of Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Haiti, Jamaica, St. Vincent & The Grenadines, and Trinidad & Tobago, was later joined by St. Kitts and Grenada in 1992. In 1993, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands came aboard. Additionally, we now have Guyana, Panama, Bahamas and St. Lucia aboard, for an aggregate of thirteen (13) islands. Honorable citations were presented in 1991 and 1992 to the Committee, from the late State Representative David P. Richardson, in recognition of CFC’s hard work and achievement, and also commendations and notations from current Mayor, John F. Street, State Representative John White, State Senator Hardy Williams, Jr. and from the Honorable Edward G. Rendell, former Mayor of the City of Philadelphia and the current Governor of Pennsylvania, for CFC’s contribution to cultural awareness in Philadelphia.

Being back home in Arizona feels so refreshing, so why not take a swim in scenic Oak Creek. Fractured Schnebly HIll Sandstone allow for water to move in dramatic ways through the scenic desert. The moisture here allows lush riparian vegetation, such as cottonwood and sycamore, to thrive along the stunning redrock. This classic Arizona scene makes me feel at home, it makes me feel as if I have a grip on my life, in this creek I see clarity. A month in the Pacific Northwest, two weeks of conferences, and now some classic red rock. Stay tuned for a blog post!
