Cricket Match

Friday was a National Holiday for St. Kitts...and no, not because it was the 4th of July for America...but rather because the West Indian Cricket Team was in St. Kitts to play Australia in a two-game tournament. A game, or match as they say, lasts ALL DAY (50 overs). But since it is such a big part of the culture here in the islands, Luke and I bought tickets and went to the match to experience it first hand. It was an awesome day...except for the fact the West Indies lost by one run (heartbreaker!) to Australia - the number 1 team in the world right now. Anyhow, see our pics from the match below:




And then we went to see some fireworks that night at Shiggidy Shack. Now those were for the Americans "4th of July" celebration!
