Rain in the Rain forest... Who Would Have Thought

Today was my second day in Trinidad. I spent the day "liming" with a Rastafarian family in the rain forest this morning. Liming is the word here for hanging out or chilling. The Rastafarian family made instruments out of wood and other things from outside and they sounded really cool. They let us play a little too. After that we traveled just barely down the mountain to the river and went for a swim and picnic. "Lime" means picnic also, So I basically just spent the day Liming in general. The food was so good but it was incredibly hot!!! We had something that was like tortilla dough to wrap everything in and that cooled things off a little bit, but not much. It was really good though. It was curried duck, hot cucumbers/mangos, curried chickpeas, and rice and beans.  The river was surprisingly cold to be as far south as Trinidad. The water was clear though! and beautiful.  I took so many pictures from the rain forest today, but I'm not sure I'll be able to tell any of them apart. Oh and it did rain today. In the rain forest. I wasn't very surprised.  I'm so glad I got a chance to participate. We're actually leaving Trinidad now and will have three more days until Panama! Somewhere in between I have a bridge tour, which is where we get to see the bridge of the boat where all of the controls are.
