We are now in our 84th country together, Trinidad and Tobago. It is quite different than the other Caribbean countries that we have visited – no giant beach resorts – their economy doesn’t depend on tourism, but oil and natural gas.

This is their Parliament building. A lovely guard allowed us in to see the lobby (they were in session). A lot of the buildings were built by the Queen in the early 1900’s – quite a bit of outstanding gingerbread architecture.

A bit of different view from our waterfront room. The capitol, Port of Spain, has no beach resorts.

But importantly, Trinidad and Tobago is the home to Angostora Bitters and rum.
