Just now we went for a drive around the Savannah. It was such a beautiful site: Couples walking hand in hand, parents teaching their kids to ride bikes or pushing their baby in a stroller, families just spending time with each other; not to mention pholourie and corn soup. YUM!

We saw men spending time with their sons. One father had his hand around his son's shoulder walking proudly with him; another bought his son boil corn. I was pleased to see that.

We saw boys riding bikes and boys doing tricks on their skateboards.

This, to me, is part of living in Trinidad. While food prices might be high, and there is a threat of a state of emergency, we were able to find people just enjoying each other.
