Dad asked where I was here in Trinidad, so I thought I'd put up a few KMZ files - download these and open in Google Earth, and you can peruse the area:

• Richard's Bake & Shark - a nice little beachside food stand that has cold beer, water and the local foodstuff called "bake & shark". I'm not really sure where the bake comes into play. It's basically breaded, fried shark on a bun. Perhaps the bun is baked. Slather that up with pepper sauce and lettuce, and maybe some local slaw (basically julienned cukes and whatnot) and you have an interesting beach treat.
• Hilton Port of Spain - it's a bit of an older establishment, probably constructed in the 1960s and is being renovated. It's situated up on a hill across from Queen Ann Park. My particular room was renovated - my travel partners weren't so lucky. But hey, at least it's clean and (mostly) comfortable.
• Maracas Bay Beach - this is apparently where Trinis go on the weekend, if they aren't hopping over to Tobago. It's a nice little patch of soft white sand, and it's frequented by a gamut of people: families, teens, oldsters, and a few tourists. This day the surf was a bit rough, but it was fun. For me the most fun was driving the two lane twisting mountain roads, on the left side of the road, in my "large" SUV (a Honda CRV). Personally I would've opted for a sedan on this trip, but it was not my choice. The rental joint was out of cars so we got stuck with this one. Incidentally, the CRV has a neat in-dash feature called a "chill box", which is basically a small glove box that might hold a can of soda or perhaps a sandwich, and it's vented by the A/C which as you might guess, chills the contents. I'm wishing we had one for the van :/

For a bit of a closer look, extract the KMZ file from this ZIP file, and open in Google Earth!
