Hello readers! I know I have been missing in action since returning from Trinidad a couple of weeks ago. I had a WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL time!!! My last couple of days there I became extremely nostalgic and began to contemplate how I could get a few more days off of the ticket- you know the path I was going down- plotting to give up my seat if they ask me or better yet, 'accidentally' miss my flight during the rush hour period where everyone tries to leave the island. I began to feel guilty and on the last night finally came to my senses, packed all of my bags with all things remnant of Trinidad- Radical Designs t-shirts for me, my brothers and my nephews, seasonings from Chief (yea de curry people) and homemade chow-chow,courtesy of Auntie Gurlaine (thanks Auntie Gurlaine!).
After I got back, I got sooooo sick....my mom said it was because I wasn't READY for that kind of feteing. She REAL bold fuh dat!!! Honestly, she was right but of course I didn't have the heart to tell her that. I just took the sickness like a woman. She brought me soup and juice and comforted me while I sat around dazed for an entire weekend.
In a way I am happy to get back. I missed blogging (and reading blogs)and had high hopes to actively blog while I was there. Internet services and sheer access were no where near what I am used to and I have high hopes government officials eventually will get it to high standards. Go TSTT or Blink and whomever else decides to jump in the high-speed internet arena. May the force be with you!
I miss Trinidad a lot and while I was there I took a ton of pictures. I got a Nikon D40X right before I left for Trinidad. It is a nice camera, nothing like anything I have ever owned before. It made me love photography even more. More about that in a later post. As I write I am thinking I can use them to pacify myself until my next visit. Right now I am trying to figure out how best to archive them. I was thinking of getting a Flickr or some like account but I haven't quite decided. This particular photo is one of my favorites. It was taken at Girl Power when the fete was over at like 8 in the morning. (Yes! 8 in da mornin!) Don't we look fresh? There are a lot more like this one.
A lot went on while I was in Trinidad. I will try to touch on some of those things that aren't time sensitive in coming posts. Til then.....
