Bugs and other creatures

There isnt a frosty winter to slow the growth of bugs here so you do get a few biggees. This moth is 6" long...... This guy is on our terrace wall...And this guy lives behind the potted plant on our terrace as well.For the record none of these guys were found IN the apartment....
This guy's antennae are about 5" long.

Christmas 2010

Christmas morning was a flurry of visits time in several houses as the kids spent time with their inlaws but we did all get together for a sunny Christmas Day walk. Rebecca enjoys a convertible and Sienna likes a nice windscreen.
The girls are starting to bond nicely. I think they may be pals for a very long time. B.

Celebration time!

A Work-Life balance is important (even in year one of our start up). I was able to get away from work in December in time to be part of Rebecca and Sienna's christening in Calgary. It was a noisy, busy, fun family day. The girls had beautiful christening dresses which will start a family tradition for future christenings.....including Sienna's bonnet. Rebecca and Sienna were blessed are so are we.

Back to the blog!

I need to catch up on this blog....about 4 months worth.

I could jump ahead to what's going on today but since this blog is a record of our time here in Trinidad but I will fast forward through those 4 months.

Mid-December: Preparing for Christmas in Trinidad when it is 35 C outside - always a treat. The staff decorated a great Xmas tree and this was the picture that was part of our Trini corporate online Christmas card. B.

Just another commute to work

This morning there was another fender bender.

Here is the first car.... Here is the first truck..... There three more cars involved.

Just another Thursday commute to Marabella.

Justice on Time

Here in Trinidad, there is a shuttle service that is very efficient. It has a police escort, runs all traffic lights and those that sit in the back get to where they are going on schedule. Nope, it's not for the local politicians. It would for be the prisoners on their way to and from court.

Ants

Mimi is concerned that we could have an ant infestation in the apartment. I am not allowed to drop crumbs when I eat (so I dont eat). It is a fact, I have hole in my mouth and I do seem to leave a trail (or pile) of crumbs around but I dont think that's the reason we have ants. Its because it is easy to buy or rent them here in Trinidad.
