Our Preparation Day started out clear and blue so Trekker begged and pleaded to go to the beach. The drive wound through the forest and along switchbacks until we found Maracas Bay and Richard's Bake-and-Shark. Lunch was good but the beach was unusually crowded so we decided to drive on up the coastline until we found Las Cuevas Beach. Just as pretty, but not nearly as crowded - unless you count the dozens of turkey vultures flying overhead or walking the sandy beach waiting and watching for carrion (look it up) from the fishing boats just off shore.
Trekker was pretty scared when Grandpa Ed tried to pass a car on the highway and got too close. Luckily there wasn't much damage, but Grandpa was REALLY upset. And then, as it always does in Trinidad on our Preparation Day, the sky opened up and drenched us. Trekker was disappointed we didn't get to spend more time at the beach, but he was happy he got to chase birds - even for a little while - and eat shark again!

We love Trekker! He gets around quite a bit and sees some beautiful country. We're glad we get to see where he's been!
Yeah for Trekker!!! We love hearing about his adventures! We ask Adyn "What does Trekker say?" and she growls for us.
Okay, where do I find Trekker? Kaler must have one! He won't rest therefore I can't rest until one is found...If I get one, I must get 3!!!
