The "Taco's & Toucan's" Trip
Hangin' With Sarah
Tuesday April 23rd, 2019
With today being a free day, most of the group were off either hiking to a nearby waterfall, cruising around on a local catamaran or on a scheduled local tour. Myself and Sarah, a rock licker (Geologist) from Perth, Western Australia decided to meander around town on our own.
We visited the local crafts markets, joined a free city walking tour for a bit, before breaking away for an awesome lunch at the Cubita Santander. A couple of Cristals and a chinwag at the Casa De La Cerveza (House of Beer) and we were back on the streets exploring Trinidad.
We happened upon a couple of galleries which had some stunning artwork on display and as I don’t do the whole ‘trinket & t-shirt’ souvenir bullshit thing, I will purchase artwork. This was the case, after some deliberation, at Galeria R-Evolucion, which features the work of the owner Rafael Alvarez Alonso.
After a second visit to Casa De La Cerveza, Sarah and I returned to the main casa - Casa Anay y Jesus, to meet up with the rest of the group for our included Salsa dance class. As there were ½ a dozen of us who were not interested in the Salsa lesson, I arranged for Ronaldo to return and instruct us again on the art of making a Mojito, a Daiquiri and a Canchánchara ..... as we obviously failed yesterday’s class miserably.
