Georgia in Trinidad

My apologies to my follower but the delay between posts is largely Georgia's fault. Georgia has become quite the world traveler of late. She just got back from a trip to Japan with our daughters and she decided that she needed a TT stamp in her passport as well. She came to Trinidad and, well, I've been distracted. So the next few posts will include a lot of pictures of her.

Of course, being the highly computerized family that we are, she wasted no time in checking her work emails. And reading the newspaper over the internet. We routinely cancel the newspaper when we go on vacation but this time the Houston Chronicle sent us a daily link to their all electronic, full page version of the newspaper. So Georgia didn't miss a single day of the exciting news in Houston.


We did see many of the sights of Port of Spain and if you guessed that among the first things she wanted to see would be the Botanical Garden, you would be right.

As I've pointed out before, the Botanical Garden is mostly trees but there are many beautiful flowering trees as well. This isn't the best example but it is the best we ran into after it occurred to us that we should be taking pictures as well.


Georgia did have one thing she wanted to experience while she was here that we weren't able to connect up on... a steel pan orchestra. About the closest we got was this sculpture in the Botanical Garden. The musicians in the sculpture are a bit on the skinny side but the drums are basically spot on.


But since I don't want her to be too disappointed...
