Gwahn nah boy.

So apparenlty I've got a few more minutes here at the Banana Boat's internet connection. Unfortunately I won't be able to share pictures at the moment. However, let me give a try a being descriptive.

Trinidad is to Tobago as Baltimore is to Allegheny Mountains. One, wreaks of unsewn edges and grit and the other is a quixotic escape for those bounded by the former. Anyway, more details on that to come. Quickly some observations

Tobago:
-Gorgeous clear blue water
-Strangely hypnotic sing-song and sun-kissed English, best heard during beautiful arguments.
-There is never a hurry, ever.
-Times and locations are as fluid and intangible as the salt in the sea.
-Small villages spill down the mountainside to embrace the sea all along Tobago's coast.
-Calyspo songs spill out the autos to embrace pedestrians and thin-walled hotels all along Trinidad's roads
-It will rain.
-Black and Indian equals paradise

In anycase, I'll be back to write shortly. There is a Fisherman's Festival in Tobago's northeastern village of Charlotteville. It promises to be a great time.
