Point, Trinidad

So this has been a really great week. It started off with a trip to Tobago with Nicki, another Trini Fulbrighter, and we met up with Cara, our Fulbright Coordinator. We hung out on the beach and went on a sunset cruise, learning the latest dance steps from our drivers. Then we had the Fulbright Enrichment Seminar all week which brought all the other Fulbrighters from around the Caribbean together here in Trinidad to present our projects. We had people from Barbados, Dominica, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. Everyone's projects were really interesting and we had a great time on our excursions into Trindad. We got to Turtle watching again (and was able to take flash photos, so these came out way better than before) and hiked to a beautiful waterfall and natural pool. Side note for those of you who have read my blog before...we ate Roti and I figured out how to eat it! No green sauce all over myself yay!

Here are some pictures...

Crab and Dumplings, Tobago's famous dish. It was really delicious and really hard to eat! You have to crack open the crab shells and then try to dig out little tiny pieces of meat. I've never been so messy in all my life!
