Missions

Our time in Trinidad was strange to say the least. All inclusive resorts...no me cae bien. Enough said. However... there were perks. For example, waking up for morning runs on pristine white beaches, with endless horizon and pink skies is blissful. Unlimited coffee and drinks also helps the mood. Yet it did not take long for the novelty to wear off...

The view from our hotel in Trinidad. 

Feeling fussy in our hotel, Mad and I busted out an "Adana" workout. The Cuban version of P90X. And with the right lighting, the results of 2 months of boxing training is visible.

Thanks to boxing our biceps are just visible in the beach twilight. 

Escaping from the "All Inclusive Castle" Mad and Nick and I set out for a tempting shipwreck in the nearby harbor. The weather (gusting wind, raining and otherwise totally unpredictable) was less than ideal for long-distance swimming, but we had already bragged and we had to give it a shot....

And we did. 

Back on land, unsuccessful, yet living. 

Unfortunately the combination of the wind, rain, unfavorable tide, and deceptively far away boat proved out of our skill range. After 15 minuets of hard swimming we had barely reached halfway, and sadly decided it was in our lives best interest to turn back.. good thing too. As it turned out our swim back was unexpectedly against the current and far more difficult than anticipated.

 But, in the end, we lived... just slightly downtrodden.
