Convenient Encounters : Feb. 22

We had barely finished checking in when two other American girls walked in the doors of our hotel. We started walking out for food not that much later, and they were right behind.

They are PLU (Pacific Lutheran) students, of all places, which is where half of my friends from my high school church went. They have been studying abroad since January and are here through May. And just happen to be the injection of fun we'll need on this island.

We headed toward food. It was dandy up until Daryl approached us. He had played with the Island People (Alisa and my band) and had trying to chat with us during Carnival (unsuccessfully). He had then been on our ferry (and Alisa recognized him). And now, he had finally trapped us.

But, he had a tour to sell, and whole he was taking us to the beach to get roti (which were delicious, the one they had left), he suckered us into (eh, maybe just sold us on) a day-long, all inclusive speedboat trip. There was fishing and drinking and beaches and musical and stingrays and partying. Like most T&T events. Well, maybe the stingray is a bit unique.

Regardless, we have tomorrow planned now. And the other American girls are headed out on Friday.
