Palancing on da weekend in Trini

Today we went with a group of witnesses on a boat trip to a little island. There we hiked around a bit and saw some beautiful caves! After that we palanced on the roadside on our way to the beach, and went swimming on the beach! It had some rocking waves.

Friday

Today some of the friends took us on a day trip to San Fernanda. We took a bus there, about an hour and a half, that cost of 10tt. 6tt=$1 USD. So... like $1.50 for the ride. It had a lot of shopping centers and such, then we took a boat ride on this boat! It was supper sweet! It was like a first class airplane on the inside with flat scree tv's.... Sweet Ride! Other than that we just hung out and watched a movie at the cinema.

Terri-Ann is the girl in the blue! She's the sister who has lovingly made Auntie and Uncle Mcleod, the couple who have taken us into their home and made us welcome! In the pic of the brothers, the brother on the left is Taze, their son. And the girl in the pink is T'mera, their daughter.

Friday Night's


Friday nights at Aaron's house! While I've been here, its become almost a weekly thing for us to go to their house on a friday. Last night they were teaching us how to dance to indian music... they failed, we still cant dance. ha ha. But it was great fun. Me and Aaron and Sam also showed them some of our irish dance moves. ha ha. Its good fun. We also took the wii over and played some games at their house which was good fun. Mario is a nice game! ha ha. "play that nice game" ha ha. Now everyone wants to see me and sam dance, and laughs at us. ha ha. but its good fun. we went to our friend mandy's tonight, and they had us try to dance too.... apparently its quite funny cause they all bust out laughing!

New house


Here are some pics of the new house. We moved wednesday, Sam rented a donkey cart! Upper Right pic. ha ha. It was pretty cool. Our house is like 2 bedrooms, and outside "shower" that doesn't work, so we have to fill up a bucket and poor it on ourselves, and a toilet way back at the end of the yard. By toilet, i mean a outhouse. ha ha. But the rent is free, and the people who are renting it to us are very nice people, who enjoy gaffing with us.
