Cancer Survivor, writing about Health and Fitness as you age

I thought I'd post out a few pictures to give everyone a flavour of Trinidad from my whirlwind visit. Click the links to enjoy the full experience! While I was there I heard more soca than parang since everyone is now gearing up for carnival 2013. You can hear the 2012 Road March winner (soca). Road March is the tune that is most played by the steelbands/DJs on the road for carnival. I can only imagine the winin' going on to the speed of this tune. What? You don't know what is winin'? Well take a look here - as you can see, no men required. (Did I just pump up the interest by a factor of 10 for the guys out there?) On to the pictures! On the way to Maracas Beach. On the beach, looking like my foreign self. Picture of the Debe market. I even found they were selling a fleece jacket there. Really. Wha's the price of cucumber dey Uncle? 3 for $10. Double rainbow. It rained a bit every day I was there.  Well, what is this picture below yo

It's a new year, and it's a good time to visit friends and family. I made a last-minute decision to visit my relatives in Trinidad. Here are just a few pictures of my experiences so far. Breakfast the first day - doubles. De doubles vendor. Harvesting some lettuce leaves from Grandpa's lettuce "garden" (that is, some PVC pipe cut in half with manure in it. Cutting   a coconut off the coconut tree. Fortunately my dad had the good sense to forgo the cutlass for the hacksaw - more tedious but safer. Driving around Trinidad - extremely hazardous, and not to be tried by amateurs (that is, "tourists"). I elected to omit the photos of the kids lighting fireworks and running for their lives as they went off. This is likely to be an adventure to remember.
