Great Weekend

I don't really remember what I included in my last entry, but I think it was on Friday before we went to the resort for a few drinks.  It nice a relaxing Friday night as the entire resort bar was empty except for one young couple and two elderly couples (the newly weds and nearly deads syndrome).  Yummy Tobagan rum and cokes.  Since it's the rainy season (hardly actually raining, maybe once a day for 5 mins) and considering the world's economic situation, there's a lull in the tourism.  I quite like it though, I truly dislike areas swarmed by tourists.  Despite only having few drinks, we ended up leaving the car at the resort and cabbing home, I know you'd be proud about that mom. As the cabbie dropped us off, I asked him if he had a number we could ever reach him, and he handed me his business card, which hilariously was for his plumbing service.  Making a buck anyway he can I guess.  We then got up at about 830ish Saturday morning and jogged to the resort to retrieve the car and be back at about 10ish to be picked up for our boating trip.  The trip was great, all you can drink beer and rum punch, snorkeling, fishing, beach bbq, beach soccer against the locals and great weather, nevermind singing a few Bob Marley songs with our guides.  All four of us got quite burnt but it was well worth the $80 for the day.  Since we had such a great day, one of the guides offered to drive us around for the night and show us some of the Tobagian night life.  Lucas wasn't feeling that well (sunstroke) so only the three of us went. Dean and I were the only white guys in the club but it was still pretty fun.  I bet mom is freaking out about going out but we had a little escort and the the atmosphere was really SAFE, I promise.  We all slept in this morning and went to the newly opened movie theatre for a matinee.  We needed to do something indoors to let our skin recover.  Now I'm back at home, going to watch some football, do some reading for tomorrow and probably go to bed nice and early.  The objective of the week is to get better at taking blood, assist is more surgeries and deliver me a baby.  Until later.
