Nov 2016 Three weeks in Tobago. A few of our experiences.

1. A Taste of Tobago
Part 1
Barbados Bay

4. Barbados Bay: Our Morning Walk. We walk a full hour each morning. It is
important to go early before the sun gets too hot! (6-7am is best). Can you find
Allan walking barefoot in the sand!
The Arrow shows the location of our apartment.

5. Nice surprise this morning. The walk in the mist was cool and
lovely, then a rainbow!

6. Sandpipers winter over here (good choice!).

7. The fishermen leave very early (5:30am). Here is
the little dingy that the Rotary Club of Truro had
built to take fishermen out to their boats.

8. Looking across to Grandby where we do our
evening swim near sunset. Grandby is more
sheltered. The water is bathtub warm, clear
and beautiful.

10. Just to bring one back to reality, this bill board is one
that ‘Donald Trump’ should know about!

11. Two Great Places For Lunch
in Tobago
TTHTI and Shore Things

12. TTHTI was our very first CESO assignment 16 years ago. The campus has been spruced
up with paint but is basically the same as it was in 2000. The campus overlooks the
sea-beautiful location.

14. Here is Veanne at the
cafeteria at TTHTI. Veanne
is a very talented person
whom I met and have
followed for 16 years.
More later on Veanne.
She led the way to our
meal.

15. Dumplings
Stewed Fish or Pork
Provision:
Dashine; Sweet Potato; Cassava ; Plantain
Stewed Lentil Peas

16. The BEST of Flavors! True Tobagonian Food! TTHTI is training well to
prepare the real foods of Tobago.

17. This is the saw mill pond at
the bottom of the hill up to
TTHTI. I wonder if the
‘caymans’ (alligators) are still
in this pond that were there
in 2000.

18. Shore Things: A
Favorite Café of Ours

19. My Choice: Pastelles:
Trinidadian/Tobagonian
pastelles are small meat-filled
cornmeal pies stuffed with
meat, fish or vegetables
seasoned with fresh herbs and
flavored with raisins, olives
and capers wrapped and
steamed in a banana leaf.
As you see, Allan ordered a
pizza from the menu.

20. The best was watching this iguana eating leaves on a
nearby tree.

21. Bamboo Framed Lobster Traps Tobago Style

22. Fisherman Edison Ready
With Supplies For A Day
Fishing

23. Fishermen Work Together. One Takes The Little Dinghy
(Rotary Club of Truro) Out to Bring One Of The Boats In
To Shore. Edison Will Get A Ride To His Boat.

26. Edison On His Boat Organizing Buoy Lines.

27. All Metal Lobster Traps On Way To Be Set For
Lobster Fishing

28. Lobsters are expensive in Tobago. Notice no
front claws. The shell is very hard.

29. A Vegetable to Eat With: Callaloo-A delicious mix of Dashine
Leaves, Okra, Onion, Garlic, Hot Pepper (remove whole-don’t
eat!), Pumpkin, Milk or Coconut Milk.

30. All Cooked. Ready For a Gourmet Meal!

31. We were fortunate to attend a celebration of Black History Month
on our last night at Grandby where we swim! It was fantastic!

34. As the sun rises over the deck, we leave Tobago with very warm feelings about
our three weeks here!
