Long Drives and Lobsters

The rest of Monday was awesome! We took taxis and visited some of Ben's friends. We had Family home evening with the Deonerinesingh family (a family that Ben baptized). Sis. Deo taught us how to make roti...Maura was better at it than Ben. Tuesday, we went with some other friends to the beach! It was about a 2hr drive from Chaguanas to the other side of the island. The roads were covered with pot holes...a real wonder because Trinidad produces 70% of all the world's pitch for roads! The roads were wound around the jungle and through villages. Spectacular sights. We made it to the beach and loved being able to play in actual WARM ocean water...not like the beaches at home in WA and OR. Because we went on a weekday, we had the beach pretty much all to ourselves. We put on sunscreen, but still came home as lobsters...oh well...it will turn into tan, right? Today is our last day in Trinidad. We are going to visit some more people and do a little more shopping. Tomorrow morning we will fly to Guyana...a whole new adventure.
