a weekend in trinidad

by Rachel Lynch


On my third trip to the Caribbean this year, Sean and I adventured to Trinidad. Compared to Antigua and Dominican Republic, Trinidad has all this incredible greenery juxtaposed against the white sands and waters. I really enjoyed driving through the mountains, it was just one simple winding road through all these trees and plants with little lookout points to see the water and Venezuela. Trinidad is rich with history, and our last day there was actually Emancipation Day. We drove past a place in the mountains where the United States had it's second largest base outside the U.S. during World War II. That made me want to get a book on the war, there is so much I don't know. 

My first dish in Trinidad was this really delicious vegan curry, but our favorite meal by far were these things called "Doubles." They are technically a street food, so we got ours from a local well-known vendor. They were absolutely delicious, I don't think I've ever eaten anything so fast. You HAVE to get them if you go to Trinidad. 

Maracas beach was probably my favorite stop of the entire trip. We got there just in time for the very early Caribbean sunset, and took some insane pictures. Sean took a dip in the ocean, and I just sat there, completely in awe, and grateful for this beautiful life. 

may you be gracious for everything that is given you today
