Day One

Day one!

The flight was long, and the two flights together was mathematically longer, after both flights we arrived at Trinidad airport. Customs was easy, our bags weren’t rifled through and everything was a breeze. We were very early though and had an anxious wait for our ride at the airport! With their arrival was waves of relief and I passed out in the car ride to our billet house.  After arriving we had a lovely breakfast of omelettes with coffee. It reminded me a little bit of Bolivia because the coffee is instant and your enjoying your food but it’s also making your boiling hot, and yet you eat it!

It is soo hot! My mom gave me some chocolate bars, they are now wrapped melted mush, they melted in the car ride.  

We had local lamb and chicken cooked on a big grill for dinner

My Billet Mom, has a street meat shop out of her house Thursdays -Saturdays, it’s in what is built like a second Garage and the food is good!

My room is large and spacious, and our internet is already up and running. I have to much clothes still probably , my uniforms are not here yet but I’ve heard they’re way too big which is too bad. But better than way too small.

We have learnt a little history about Trinidad on the drive, as an example their public schools are based on faith denominations but we haven’t done our whole orientation were doing that later in the week. This weekend is going to be more focused on travelling around Trinidad a bit and then Monday all the orientation is going to begin!

I have just found out that we aren't travelling to Grenada right away we are heading there in December, coming back in January.
Hope you're all well
