We got that too...

Happy Birthday to my mom!!!! Im sad I cant be there, but I'm more sad that you can't be here. We spent the morning exploring Independence Square in Trinidad! I'm finally on land!!! It was so cool in Trinidad. The people were so happy to have us there because they do not get many tourists. The tourist island is mainly Tobago. When we got to the cathedral we met the man who manages the mall and his son. He said he loved Florida and talked to us a while, but thinking he was sketchy we left. We ran into his son later and he asked how we were doing, what we had seen, and if we had gone to see some of the sites he thought we should see. We realized they were just really happy to have us there. I learned  saying that Trinis have from our tour guide. They like to say "We have that too" in their own Spanglish+French language. They built a leaning light house so they could have a leaning tower and twin towers so that they could have those too. And there is a ton of KFCs here. And Churches chicken. Trinis really love Americans. They were so excited to have us there and were so happy to be in pictures with us. American flags and pictures of America are hanging behind the desks at these shops. We ate lunch in the port even though we were sort of scared. We just pointed to what we wanted and didn't even ask what it was. Mine was good though. They have RC down here too! They dont even have that in Raleigh really. Oh but I am so glad my Bird Sanctuary visit got canceled. Maddie, Christina and I went to the turtle vigil tonight and it was amazing. It wasnt like our Virginia Beach whale watch where we didnt see anything. We saw 3 huge turtles. Like 5-6 feet long!!! We got to touch them too. We took pictures laying beside them and touching them. Oh and we got to hold turtles that are only a few days old. They were so tiny! I loved it.
