Nova Comes Back Pictures

Nova Comes Back!

6 students and 2 professors came down for 4 days to help clear out a back-log of people needing hearing aids. We fit about 200 people in 2 1/2 days. It was very nice having some audiological support, and we had a lot of fun. You can see here, we worked all day long!
In a side note, I fit 9 people in my little car!

Facing the Freeze

Went home to New Hampshire for the holidays. It was very cold, gray, and snowy. My hair and my skin did not adapt well, but it was very nice to be home with friends and family.
And to be fair to Trinidad, I saw one dead fox on the road

Hard Wine

So, there's this stuff called "Hard Wine" down here, and it supposedly has some "enhancing" herbs for men (hence, the name). The bottle has a picture of a sexy lady on it (talk about truth in advertising!)


As you can see, it was awful.

Thanksgiving Visitors

My best girls visited for a week at Thanksgiving, and we spent the holiday at the beach, drinking beers and eating Bake and Shark.

We also went to Tobago for a few days where Amber and Ramsey got engaged!

Diwali

Diwali is a Hindu holiday, and is celebrated with food and decorating your house and yards with dias. Dias are oil-filled lanterns, and they give off a beautiful light. I went to an outside festival to celebrate Diwali with a friend. There was tons of shopping and great food everywhere!

The Eastern Tip

I drove out to Toco, the eastern-most part of the island a few weeks ago with some friends. It took about 2 1/2 hours one way, and the roads were somewhat perilous, but not as much as other places on the island. There are many resorts in this part of Trinidad.
