Trinidad: Day Two
Fortunately, there were no other incidences to follow (although poor Greg's brother ended up having surgery on his wrist owing largely to two earlier wrist fractures). While the beach house was not near a white sand beach as I had imagined, it was lovely nonetheless, boasting a large veranda overlooking the sea. I had trouble sleeping at night though due to the all the unfamiliar sounds at night (mostly tropical birds and insects) and the heat and humidity. The day after I flew in, Greg took us by power boat to the water by an island which formerly housed a leper colony and, on our way back, a school of dolphins rode alongside the power boat, seemingly wanting to show off as they leaped into the air, one even doing a flip and another slapping his tail so close to me, my face was splashed with water. It was definitely one of those experiences you can only dream about.
