The Pitch Lake

We went to Point Fortin today to meet with the mayor and staff about an economic development project they are doing. On the way back we we visited  Pitch Lake. According to Wikipedia, the it is the largest natural deposit of asphalt in the world.It is an amazing place and given that the temperature was 35 celsius, the tar was quite soft - raelly wierd to walk on. We were shown around by the gentleman on the right who gave us all the facts and showed us the sticky tar.
