I was out and about today…
Connect the dots! Passed by this old office building on Maraval Road, Port of Spain.
I ran into an artist painting...
She was painting a coconut carriage around the Savannah...
...and attracted a fair amount of curiosity and attention.
She was doing an oil painting for a friend's new art gallery. She uses a plastic bag as a palette. I thought it looked pretty.
While I was there watching her work, I noticed some interesting sights…
Pretty Tree Cathedral
Ackee flowers (?) in coconut shell.
Stag... a man's beer.
I was hungry, so I told my new artist friend “goodbye” and travelled somewhere for lunch.
Lunch was part-Latin, but lunch was all good!
Here are the condiments. Clockwise from upper left: Hot pepper sauce, Tamarind sauce, Garlic sauce and Shadon Beni sauce.
Lunch was polenta, stewed chicken, with a side salad of stir-fried seasoned broccoli and cauliflower florets. Washed down with Pommecythere (golden apple) juice.
Did I mention that lunch was good?
I decided to have a slice of heaven for dessert. Oops... I meant carrot cake...
After I'd paid for lunch, I looked around and saw some interesting pictures hanging on a nearby wall.
They were rare pictures of popular calypsonians (some of whom are deceased). I took pictures of them. The owner objected though. I deleted them out of respect for his collection. He promised me that we could meet to chat after Carnival was over and he’d let me see the others.
Today was a good day…
Peace and Rice,
jw
