Caricom Day & A Cool Tie

We didn't get any messages from Jonathan yesterday on his p-day, but this morning we received this brief video explaining why.



We didn't know what Caricom Day was, so we looked it up.

Caricom Day commemorates the treaty establishing CARICOM
(the Caribbean Community and Common Market) and is observed annually by all CARICOM countries, though not necessarily on the same date of the year. The Treaty of Chaguaramas was signed on
July 4, 1973 at Chaguaramas in Trinidad.
Guyana, Antigua, and Barbuda are among the CARICOM countries that observe the day on the first Monday in July every year.
St Vincent and the Grenadines celebrate Caricom Day on the second Monday in July, Jamaica on July 4, and Barbados in August.

Jonathan said that he will e-mail more later today. When he does, we will add it to this post. Be sure to check back!

(We added another video clip that Jonathan sent today in the previous post, make sure you see it as well.)
