After reading your description of Carifest, I ask: Why?
Why should millions be spent to create a fake Caribbean environment when we have the real thing all around us?
Why should anyone re-create "pirate ship" events with cannon shots? Don't we hear enough gunshots on St. Thomas?
Pirates were slave traders. Do we need to re-enact that part of our legacy? This plan is appalling.
We can't change the past, but we can cherish our future.
