Ade's Dream Carriacou

So,
Went to the masaya markets, makes you really wonder why Canadian Health organizations are so anal retentive about sanitary practices. There are pieces of meat, sitting in blazing heat, with flies all over them, everywhere. You can also buy half dead chickens, vegetarians must just be ******. Started my spanish classes as well. Fun Fact: the word Papaya in Cuba, means vagina... could get very confusing if you happen to be ...

So day two...
After a night of drinking 2 boxes-o-wine, Jackie, Suzanne and I all got up nice and early to go and see one of the volcanoes just outside of the city Grenada. So since we all arent quite accustomed to how much things cost, how long it takes to get places, etc., we were not the most efficient of travelers. First off, it took 2 hours to get to a city literally 20km away... at one point the driver was actually reading the newspaper waiting for ...

... and our private pool overlooked the golf course. At night, small lizards stuck to the windows adding to the tropical ambiance.

Peeping Toms!

Back in St. George, we did some shopping in Port and explored the famous spice shops. Dot's plaza had a nice selection of spice and soaps. http://mypages.spiceisle.com/dots/ As well as many street vendors offering baskets with fresh spices. I recommend buying your spices from a ...

A very, very hot day in Grenada (high 80's / high 20's). When it showers, it feels very warm and almost dries instantly to your skin (very refreshing). We did some brief shopping today (Spice Islands). Ready to head sail to Bonaire (near South America) for tonight and tomorrow. One more port to go before sailing back to the USA, where we stop in Aruba on Wednesday (big shopping day).

... The driver had to stop the van, clean up Mi's shoes before proceeding down the road. Everyone was laughing.

Our next stop was Fort Frederick. The fort was first constructed by the French in 1779 and completed by the English in 1791. It offered a fantastic view of the town and the harbour below. In the distance, the Caribbean Princess could be seen.

After a wonderful tour which lasted 4 hours, we made ...

... s neighborhood, where his family and friends waited for us to help prepare the food. On the tables outside we saw a multitude of fresh fruits and vegetables including: yams, papayas, cucumbers, coconuts, okra, green bananas, callaloo and breadfruit. Breadfruit is a cannonball-sized vegetable which grows on beautiful large trees. Peeled and cored and cooked, these beauties taste just like boiled potatoes. Callaloo is ...

It said simply "beach chair operator". Ah ha ...
