Trinidad

Ok there are so many pictures I dont know where to start. Im going to do posts by island starting with Trinidad. Brandon spent the most time here. It it not a tourist island and is not very safe. We were there from Aug 10-13. We drove around alot and were able to see some really neat things. We also met up with a family Brandon was close with. It was so fun to meet them and we were able to go to dinner.

Bake & Shark! Yes I ate shark and it was so dang good!












Jordan Grandma and I enjoying Apple J and shark




Brandon and I at a look out point in Trinidad.




This bamboo tree was HUGE! It was so awesome.








A real banana tree and coconut tree. There were vendors all over selling coconuts. They use a huge machete to cut the top off and you drink the water inside. Its supposed to be supper good for you. They weren't brown like i thought coconuts were. These were green.



The flowers there were amazing!





The family Brandon worked with. They took us to an Indian restaurant and we ate Roti. Roti is similar to pita bread. You tear and rip the roti and mix it with rice, different meats-chicken, lamb and beef- in curry sauce. You eat it by mixing it together with your hands, no silverware! They LOVE curry so everything was spicy. Oh and the drinks are fresh and I mean fresh fruit juices. They are fresh squeezed and nothing added. Yummy I loved them.



These were what alot of the houses looked liked. Families would live in these tiny places. WoW Im lucky for what I do have.






Goofing off at Fort George.
These were just a few of the high lights from Trinidad.
