A weekend in Toco (northeast Trinidad)

I went to Toco the other weekend weekend – a hot winding three hour drive past CEPEP workers painting broken televisions white and deranged men spitting at the car as it drove away.

But I digress.

As someone who never ventures "past the lighthouse" (an expression we use in Trinidad to mean anything out of Port of Spain or northwest Trinidad), going to Toco is like pretending to be a tourist. Electricity poles don't crowd the sky grey, the traffic does not inch because it does not exist...and so I present unadulteratedly pretty pictures of the northeast coast and its beaches, taken by my friend Michele de Verteuil.
