#Caribbean has >7,000 islands, cays, & islets. Home of Taino Indians; colonized by British, Dutch, French & Spanish. They brought African #slaves, then "coolies" (Chinese & East Indian #indentured laborers). Multi-ethnic melting pots & salad mixes.
congregation of corbeau, black vultures, awaiting discarded fish from the fishermen in #Maracas village. Most people groan over #carrion-feeders but these are smart ecologically important #birds. I see research project on bird behavior. #TrinidadandTobago
The coal pot (coal stove or Dutch pot). An old way of cooking in #Caribbean #TrinidadandTobago. I get all warm and fuzzy to see one in use, wishing to bring one back to USA. BUT, I can order it off Amazon!! www.uncommoncaribbean.com/caribbean/co...
After absence from #TrinidadandTobago odd things draw my eye. Aerial sculptures of electrical, telephone, television & internet cables fascinate me. Cables obscure views of beautiful buildings, but may be too costly to modernize and put underground (and create nice sidewalks?)?
just picked #jackfruit in friends' garden #TrinidadandTobago #Moraceae #Artocarpus I ate the ripe fruit as well as curried unripe fruit (cooked like its cousin, #breadfruit). Yummy.
