Today is not July 4, but in the incredibly stupid USVI, July 4 is being celebrated today on July 5, a MONDAY.
Another way to give the government another holiday. And we certainly don't want to mix church and state by interfering with sunday morning church services, do we.
So the parade is this morning, and fireworks this evening.
I want to point out that "j'ouvert" (local pronunciation joo-vay instead of joo-vair) is a compound error.
It is used locally to mean "the opening". But this makes no sense. "The opening" would be spelled "l'ouvert" and pronounced loo-vair. If people insist on using the "j", it would be "j'ouvre", would be pronounced joo-vreh, and would mean "I open."
This place is wicked pathetic.
