We had an early start today for our first outing to Tobago which was 5 hours long on a bus with several stops and seaside lunch in a tree house. We had fish, but no one knows what kind!
It being a Sunday, no shops were open. Churches here run the gamut, but most seemed to be Methodist. We saw many men milling about “liming”. (Drinking and having good visits with each other), but no women. I assumed they were getting ready for Sunday School that runs from 7:30 pm to 5 am. One big party. That is not a typo and there is not much bible learning going on!
The beaches were deserted not even young children dipping into the water. It was 92 degrees here and sunny with about a 10 minute downpour while we were on the bus!
How do you tell a goat from a sheep here? Well, I’ll tell you. The sheep don’t have wool, so the difference is that the sheep’s tail hangs down and goat’s tail points straight out! Otherwise they both look the same.
This a pretty much a third world country with poverty everywhere. There is no industry. Tourism and fishing exports are dominant.
We are just about to sail away for another day at sea and on to Devil’s Island a prison island where Papillon was filmed.
C’est avec beaucoup de plaisir que nous partageons tes émotions ! Et bien sûr le soleil est avec toi!Nous, annonce du froid mais pas d’inondations sauf les 2 départements proche de la Belgique.
