Wedding success!

Hello All,

We experienced Brent and Becky's beautiful wedding in her family's backyard. Talk about going in style: a beautiful ceremony, Steel drummers, lights, a juice bar, catered authentic Trini food, regge and hiphop dance and friends/family. On the walk over from the hotel to the family home, we got to see 2 huge iguanas, crabs, cayman (small croc), etc. Pretty neat! We'll post pictures as we can. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all :)

Brent & Becky sing their own song for their wedding.

Group picture before a walk to a waterfall where we saw a few tropical birds and heard monkeys screaming in the distance. The walk was with a guide and over rock with running water through jungle that made us feel very small. Some of the grass seemed about 80 feet high or more.

Happy Christmas from Trinidad!

Hello family and friends,

Just now we are not able to send you pictures, but we can tell you this place is beautiful. We hiked to Edith Falls yesterday and saw tropical flowers and parrots and heard the sound of howler monkeys in the distance. The kids swam with Becky and her sister in the sea and today we went to the mall. We had KFC fries :)

The food that Becky's family has been serving us is authentic Trini food- all very good. We love you all and wish you a very happy Christmas. We are writing you from an internet cafe a block from Becky's house.

P.S. We also enjoyed coconut water from a coconut that was trimmed from the backyard (They don't want coconuts bonking the wedding party on Sunday :)
