Well, beginning to like this place more and more. Found a great nondenominational church in Port of Spain, West Side Community. Was invited to a small group meeting by Gary and his wife, Cynthia, last Tuesday night and will go back tonight. We have only six in attendance and are studying Josh McDowell's book 'More than a Carpenter'. Cynthia and Gary host the meeting in their lovely home. It's in a gated community and is gaily painted in Caribbean colors.

Took Jessie James, Taste of Trinidad, tour yesterday. That was a wonderful tour as Jessie is very knowledgeable in local history, customs, politics, geography and cuisine. I attempted to take photos of most of the foods he presented to us along the trip. The tour was for 11 hours and took a giant loop around the island. The farming areas and jungles were similar to Grenada's. As an added bonus Jessie treated us to 88 different food items along the drive, so we basically nibbled all day long.

Jessie is very proud of his island and it became infectious. There are about 1.5 million people living here. 40% are Indian, 35% African and the balance a big mix. They end up producing some of the most beautiful women in the world.

Crime is a problem in the major cities just like the US. As you get into the country there is a significant drop and the people become much more friendly.
