| The front of the temple |
On our grand day out with Jesse James....after the Pitch Lake and lunch, we stopped at the Temple in the Sea.

| The sea - the Bay of ?? to be specfic |
Okay, so it's not really IN the sea but it used to be and then the land was built up to protect it from being destroyed by the sea.

I know next to nothing about the Hindu religion but I am trying to learn while here. So far it's going slow. I am probably going to need to read something to get a better feel.

| Shoes must be removed before entering all Hindu temples |
Flags are big in the Hindu religion. We see them not only at temples but up on street corners and in nearly every yard in Hindu neighborhoods.
The temple itself was locked but one of the side windows wasn't. D-oh.
NO, we didn't climb through. We merely peeked in. Inside was so pretty and colorful.
Trinidad has a rather large population with east Indian heritage. They were first brought to Trinidad after the abolishment of slavery. Indentured servants aka just a different form of slavery in my mind.
