The first day

Okay, so I have a moment to post...so let me get busy.
Here is the first picture I took fresh out of the airport (Piarco)...in Trinidad.

Yep, rain!  This time of year is rainy season, but it was all to the good...the temp was still hot :).  My brother in law, Clinton and his friend, John met me at the airport.  I knew the flight would get in about 1:40pm, but I told him 2:15 b/c he is always on time...well early.  :)  That way, he didn't have to wait long for me to go thru customs, change my $, or anything of the sorts.  I'm glad I did b/c when I came out of the airport I waited less than 5 min (and was able to take in the sights, sounds, and the air before getting in the car).   

As we leave the airport...notice the steering wheel is on the right hand side...ha!  I think I would be sooooo disoriented driving on that side of the car...and the road.  Anywhoo, we proceeded to leave the airport and search for food a newspaper (not Newsday), I think we were looking for the Guardian or Express...b/c some folks were boycotting Newsday b/c of politics...and corruption...eh, worldwide antics :)  They seemed to be sold out everywhere, so we needed to get somewhere quick b/c my stomach was scratchin' my back.  We stopped here:

Trincity Mall!

Notice the KFC...no, I did not eat there.  We ate at the food court...dont remember the name of the place, but they served real food like stewed chicken, rice, macaroni pie, salad, but on a line like you would get from Asian Express at the mall.  Now, I've said it before, if you are looking for superior customer service, don't look for it in Trinidad :).  The girl serving the food looked at me like I had 4 heads coming from my neck.  I had to make light of the situation and ask her if she was okay...that's when she actually cracked a smile and told me she was tired.  I started to take a picture of her and the name of the place to put them on blast, but I was playin' nice.  I was only in Trini for 30min...be easy Mick.  Food was aight...nothing to write home about, but it did hit the spot.  Off we go...

Stopping here...for now...shall return soon :)
