Back to business.
A piece of music we will always associate with Tobago is "Always on my mind" by Sean Paul. Daughter is a big fan of his. We were coming down the hill from Big Bay, wearing beach gear,daughter wearing an itsy bitsy bikini modestly wrapped up in a huge towel, when we heard this song coming from a shop. "Sean Paul!" squeals daughter,and starts dancing,something she would never do at home. Chap comes out of shop,huge grin on his face."Dancing in the street! That's good!" he says.At home, you would just get looks of disdain, in Tobago, it's encouraged!
Yesterday, I was in a shop with daughter when we heard another song we had heard in Tobago ; something about "beautiful girls and "suicidal", so we started jigging around (sedately,on my part) until we remembered where we were!
That's something we will remember about Tobago; music everywhere.I may not have liked all of it, but it's something to remember. We discovered that if we could get the radio going with the right music in the car, we had far more waves from the locals than otherwise. I regret that, with not being used to being waved at, we were sometimes too late to respond (hubby really should drive more slowly!)
If you hire a car, make sure you get the radio going, and for goodness sake don't close the windows and use the air con.Have the windows wide open and soak up the atmosphere.
Gotta go!

I will try to make amends in some way
