Emancipation Day Interview

   So, yesterday we headed to the National Park, which is really more like a city park as we name things in the States, for the festivities celebrating Emancipation Day. This is the day celebrating the end of African slavery in Guyana. There were many booths with food, and crafts, a main stage with children performing dances, and the most exciting was seeing families dressed in African attire. Many families were all dressed in the same pattern, but with varying styles, so you could easily delineate which people were there together. I was interviewed by a reporter from one of the local television channels. We also saw the manatees in the pond at the park.
