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.

Trinidad Pics
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.

6:00 am... Catch a bus to go to georgetown with my friend/neigbor Neville. $700 7:30 am... Reach georgetown, catch a number 42 bus to the airport. Neville dropped me off where I needed to go. $300
9:00 am Reached airport alive after ridding in a terrifying bus ride! Man was that the worst driver I've ever ridden with!
9:30 am Get to ticket counter... long line. Get my ticket but told that I'm too early to check in baggage, wait outside of ticket booth.
11:00 am get baggage checked in
2:00 Board plane and fly to trinidad
4:00 Land in trinidad, Terri-Ann, a wonderful sister from trinidad meets us with a brother named Brian, wearing a convention badge and a warm smile! Meet up with my good bro Tommy, and discover that i have lost/forgot/got stollen my camera...sigh....
6:30 head to the meeting here in trinidad.
? PM- Terri takes us out to eat with some of the bro's and sis's from the hall! We had amazing food and an interesting beer type drink. We had a wonderful time talking with the brothers and sisters. It's amazing how you can go anywhere in the world and you can instantly be adopted by a congregation.
