Trinidad doesn't disappoint

I'm in Trinidad now. The radio is amazing, since it's a fusion of
two of my favorite radio experiences: indian music and soca. Right
now I'm listening to a soca song to the melody of "Time After Time"
about (what else?) carnival. This morning I was listening to indian
religious music.

The way people speak here is indescribably pleasant.

Last night at some fancy bar restaurant near the marina they were
filming a Bollywood movie called "I've got a husband" (I hope you
read this sassily as "I've GOT a husband")

There's a really solid English imprint here too, in that all the
roadside advertising has sane graphic design, for example.

My feelings about having been at sea for two weeks and some 900 miles
are very complex. More on that...
