Jacaranda, they are called.

A day to lie back and admire the Lord’s creation.

And entertainment for the children.

And dancing too.

It is independence day.

The scent hangs heavy in the air in La Place de l’Independance.

After shopping perhaps a Three Horse Beer or three. Brewed locally & guaranteed to make your building look better than your neighbour’s.

Traffic and food share close proximity.

And the ever present open drains to avoid.

And of course plenty of meat.
