Yesterday was the final parade of Carnival on Bonaire, one of the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao) 50 miles off the coast of Venezuela. Like Carnival around the world, it provides adults and children alike an excuse to dress up, paint up, dance, sing and parade. This child and mother were alongside the parade route, but obviously very much in the spirit of Carnival.
