Tuesday

Here in St. Luc, what people think is 'so hot!' is really one fifth ... or maybe even one tenth of what Trinidad feels like. Yesterday, when we dropped back the rental car and were walking near the airport, my friend Mel exclaimed at the heat. Meanwhile, I was thinking 'What a pleasant, cool day.' Yes, the sun is shining on your skin, but not burning through it. And, even though there is heat, there is also wind coming from the sea, which is practically around every corner.

Going exploring on my own today, as the rest of the island returns to work (yesterday was a public holiday for Thanksgiving).
