Sundays in My City – Arboretum

Took in a bit of nature with the family today… Those bamboo patches really reach for the sky… The water was so peaceful… and cold! It was good to be in harmony with nature… Let’s travel the world...

Sundays in my City – Heights of Aripo Pt 1

Today we travelled to the hills of Aripo in Trinidad’s Northern Range and spent the day at The Aripo Cottage. It was a great end to the long vacation for the children. I feel blessed to have spent such a beautiful day with family and friends, in such a gorgeous setting. More photos of our visit next week!

Sundays in My City – Before the Rains

We’ve been suffering a pretty severe drought of late, but the rains have come along with the month of May, as they always do. They say when the Yellow Poui is in full blossom, the rains will come. I’m blessed to see that tree on the way to work every morning. I took the family to cool off at the beach the other day. Everyone had a great time… Kayaking in Williams Bay, Chaguaramas. On...

Sundays in My City – Hills Afire

It’s been an extremely hot dry season and we just haven’t been seeing the rains we’re accustomed to. Water restrictions are in effect, and the hills… the hills everywhere are burning. Yesterday I spent the day with some friends at their house on a hill, and you could see the evidence of bush fires all around. The hill behind their house shows a definite line of burnt vegetation next to...

Sundays in My City – Chaguaramas Military Museum

It’s been a while since my last SIMC post, but I’m back in a big way (I think!) There’s so much history around us that we Trinis take for granted, myself included. It’s often not that we’re not interested in finding out more about our history and culture, but that it takes time to find the places to go and the people who know the stories to tell. That’s part of the reason I joined...
