Portrait of Trinidad – Gran Couva
While I’m at home visiting my family, I’d love to share a few photos from my visit to Trinidad! Epic posts to come when I am back in the USA. For now, enjoy!
Gran Couva, Trinidad
Today my family visited a 100+ year old cocoa plantation in Gran Couva, Trinidad. It was so amazing and so cool to see exactly how the world’s best chocolate is made! Epic post and lots of photos to come!
I’m standing on cocoa beans!
The title of this post is inspired by a classic calypso by The Mighty Sniper.

Looks like a great trip. Enjoy the time with your family and eat 2 aloo pie for me!!
Did you get a chance to dance some cocoa? Enjoy your time home.
They don’t dance the cocoa anymore from what I was told! i did “walk” the cocoa though!

Seeing your pictures reminded me that I am long overdue a visit to Trinidad- one of my most favorite places on earth.
Enjoy your visit with your fam!!
Great having you home, albeit, for too short a time.
We really enjoyed sharing some special moments with you and Stephen.
Love always,
Dad and Mom

Where exactly is this estate in Gran Couva located, and what is the name? I am heading there next month, and i am in the process of planning my agenda and would like to visit some historical sites, and this estate peeked my interest. Thanks Ann
Its wonderful to know that you have kept those childhood memories and they are so rich in your life even at present. Keep Trinidad’s culture and its presence in all you do. Proud of you and keep our Trinbagonian’s flag flying high!!!
