Tobago (of Trinidad and Tobago)

And now for the photos...

Seriously...sunscreen....you'd think by 26 I would have learned. 




Crab and dumplings. A local dish that TWO friends raved about and demanded I go to Store Bay to try it...but I have to say after the meaty crabs in Cambodia, there really is no comparison. The sauce was very good though!
My mom trying to eat crab and dumplings at Store Bay is
one of the funniest/messiest things I have ever seen this class lady do!

Store Bay

My mom and I did a one day car tour around the island of Tobago. One day was enough to superficially see around the whole island, but not enough to swim anywhere, to hike in the rain forest, to try out different things, to meet people.

The Caribbean sea was rough and tough the last few days of our trip.


Golf. Green.




Abandoned water mill and restaurant. Looked like a movie set out of Jurassic Park.

Cashews live here.


Tobago has a "mystery tomb" due to the unclear, mysterious engraving on this, a slave's, tomb. It says "She was a Mother without knowing it and a Wife without letting her Husband know it, except by her kind indulgences to him."



Oh magical trees....

Beautiful bays all around.


Englishman's Bay

I told the Caribbean was ROUGH! (Parlatuvier Bay)

Quick drive through the Rainforest. So green!!

Tyrrell's Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

Bamboo!

Argyle Falls - most refreshing dip of the holiday!




You can see very faintly the ferry that goes from Tobago to Trinidad.




This is my "I am cool" shot.
....'til next time!
