also October 31st and November 1st

This post is a combination of three wonderful days in Tobago. Our ferry ride to Tobago was the worst. I was so close to getting seasick. Tropical Storm Tomas missed Trinidad but grazed Tobago and turned the ocean into a series of steep sine waves. Once we landed in Tobago, everything went amazingly, as it always does when I visit paradise. Quick recap:

Day One: saw Brian Lara at the Store Bay, dinner at Bonkers Restaurant, Diwali celebration, Sunday School
Day Two: Hike to Grange Beach, glassbottom boat tour, Windsurfing and jet skiing (Daniel), sea turtles, homemade dinner with Ed.
Day Three: Nature Reserve (birds galore), Adventure Farm (hummingbirds galore), Turtle Beach, visit to the TTSCPA in Tobago

We just got back to Trinidad on a smooth ferry ride. Time to transition back to life in Trinidad.

New Birds: Blue-crowned Motmot, Chachalaca, Rufous-tailed Jacamar, Eared Dove, Pale-vented Pigeon, MagnificentFrigatebird, Yellow-crowned Night Heron (juvenile), Fuscous Flycatcher,


Critically endangered hawksbill sea turtle! We saw two of them at the shore between Pigeon Point and Store Bay.
