The view from the hill

We went up to Fort George on the top of a hill in Port of Spain. It is at the end of a very windy narrow road. Good thing there was little traffic. The fort was built in 1804.
The guns never fired a shot. The stockade never held a prisoner. The garbage can never was used.
Apparently, the stockade was used to store the valuables of wealthy Trinis when they felt threatened. These days, I think it might be pretty full.

It's a great spot to see the whole city. You can see our apartment building from there.

You can also see the Queen's Park Savannah. The Savannah is a big park in the middle of the city (260 acres). It also creates the biggest roundabout in the world. It's one way traffic all the way around. So we have come from the city with the widest street in the world (Av 9 de julio in BA) to this.

The Beyonce concert will be held in the Savannah right after Carnival. It is a pretty big deal that she is performing here....except that about every 2nd song on the radio these days is one of hers.

Enough-ay.
