La Vida [Song]

Whew!!! Trinidad and Tobago, after that marathon session, I cannot offer you from this distance any relaxant stronger than a song with a good vibe. Thank you, Keith Rowley, Leader of the Opposition. Thank you, Government of the People. The reflections on and analyses of what transpired over that marathon sitting will now begin and these discussions will of course continue for some time to come but for now shake it out and take a well-deserved break. This was necessary and I am proud of my country. I will be even prouder when it becomes evident that lessons have been learned and that as a result real improvements will be made.

Blessed are her patient hills.
