Good Day Lyndon we love watching your videos from Caura with Mr. Bat, Harry and others. My Deceased Father used to take us to Caura since the road was Gravel and there was access to only the first pool. I was only ten years old then. We used to get fresh fruits, Primrose, Cashew, Mangos , Pomarac and others. We caught fishes especially Crafish etc. Ever since we grew up visiting this beautiful river to enjoy the Scenery, Cook and Bathe. Today I am retired and live in Toronto but must visit there whenever we come on vacation. Lyndon thanks to you and the Strong Young Boys , M. Bat and his buddy, I really enjoy seeing your videos, you relive my historical past which I show to our adult kids and Grand Kids. I will contact you on our next trip to accompany us to visit with the Young men . Thanks again and God Bless you all .

[@trini-rt6xn]

Sounds like you had a magnificent childhood! Definitely have a lot of good memories to share with your family. I coordinated my visit almost a month in advance with Mr. Lyndon Baptiste, and Lyndon was a very gracious host. The longer lead time you give Lyndon the better so he can help you plan a smooth visit, but definitely a worthwhile trip to make in my experience. Cheers.

[@lyndonbaptiste]

Mulchan, thanks for sharing this message with me. To hear of your past and how the work we're doing is having an impact on your family tree is both heart-warming and mind-blowing.

[@lyndonbaptiste]

What a memorable day, trini 0324!

Good Morning Lyndon thanks for the reply, we are hoping to meet with you on our next trip home to take a Tour with you yo meet Mr. Batt and Harry. Have a Safe and Blessed Weekend.

Yes Mr Bat, “saykay” yuh sadaa roti dey Boi. Yuh gone but will always be remembered. Lyndon you Mr. Harry be strong. It’s not going to be easy to fill the void but we have so much of your footage that can bring us some comfort.

[@annmarielalansingh8891]

Annmarie Lalansingh from Brampton Ontario Canada, It reminds me of my father in Trinidad, he was the cook then with 11 children he worked in Guaya, I love how you portray the good old days in the country side, Lyndon, May God bless you, I like the other guy with you all too, he’s quite intelligent about the old days and economics

[@trini-rt6xn]

Well stated Annmarie!

[@lyndonbaptiste]

Hi, Annmarie, welcome and thank you for your comment. Hearing about your father and his commitment to work and 11 children is special; and reminds me that perhaps I need to do more for my own family. I had the good fortune of meeting Mr Bat (by chance?) then Farmer Harry. Because they are natural in their natural environment, it feels like the good old days are alive and well (barely? I'm not sure). I'm happy we're able to work together to bring this your home in Brampton. God bless you too.

[@trini-rt6xn]

For the non-West Indian audience across the globe, the word MANACAL (as in MANACAL VALLEY) means GRU-GRU or GRU-GRU-BEF which is a specie of PALM TREE with a very thorny trunk, and it bears bunches of round, hard, yellow fruit the size of ping-pong balls. It's also called the MACAW PALM as Macaw Parrots love to eat the flesh of the hard nut inside the GRU-GRU fruit. Additionally, wine can be made from the SAP of the GRU-GRU Palm; something Mr. Harry may already know, or heard about. So MANACAL VALLEY got it's amazing name: GRU-GRU VALLEY or GRU-GRU BEF VALLEY because of the Palm Trees and the MACAW PARROTS. As for SADA ROTI (the type of Leavened Bread or Flatbread made by Mr. Bat); it was brought to the West Indies by the Indentured Servants from India. The word - SADA - means SIMPLE; thus, SADA ROTI means SIMPLE ROTI or SIMPLE BREAD because it requires very few ingredients to make. Thanks Mr. Bat, Mr. Harry, and Mr. Lyndon Baptiste for being Life Coaches, and for teaching us that Happiness in Life comes from Self-Contentment and keeping things SADA (or SIMPLE) "Inside Caura".

Hello Lyndon, I love your videos and it truly tugs at my desires to return to life in Trinidad and Tobago. Your camera work and commentary is impeccable and well received. However the only thing I'd like for you to do is perhaps get a microphone hooked up to the stars of the show so that we the audience can hear them more clearly. Again, I love what you are doing and pray that you keep up the videos coming. Thank you

[@lyndonbaptiste]

Thanks for your positive feedback, Peter. In the past I've considered putting microphones on both men but haven't for two reasons. (1) Artistic choice; (2) I don't own wireless microphones. The audio equipment I have will require me syncing multiple video and audio clips. Long story short, HEADACHE. Maybe one of these good days I'll be able to invest in a pair and test them. Thanks again.

I really enjoying watching videos with Mr Bat and Mr Harry...also Mr Lyndon I missed watching your videos with lasana work shop..and his wife Melissa with her cooking Ask Mr Bat..what is the meaning of SAY...KAY .IN the roti?

[@nandylewis4700]

The reason why the roti should swelled is because it is easy access to open it ..so you can put your vegetables or whatever you want to eat with it .,than taking a knife to open it...we used a knife to open a bake...but sada roti is different... according to Mr Bat. ..the kneaded dough most soaked for a while

I'll certainly ask Mr Bat. Yes, I love working with Lasana and his family. He's taking a little break from videos right now. Everything in its right time.
