Fun in the Caribbean

Some of the kids just limin' on Hog island.

 One of the many beautiful local sailing dinghies. Hog is a place where everyone goes to relax, let loose and have fun.

 Joe and Kim and Babs chillin' in the shade.

 This is a place that Carolyn really likes. We have to stop almost every time we pass by so she can get her jerk chicken fix. It is very good. They serve it up by chopping the chicken into pieces with a machete. You really don't know what part of the chicken you're eating but it is chicken (we think)!

 One interesting thing we did was be invited to be part of the audience of a local TV show. This particular broadcast featured Ester and Omega. These gals are friends of ours from the cooking classes we take in True Blue Bay Resort and they asked if we would be there for support. It was alot of fun and we had Fried Mahi Mahi with ginger sauce and breadfruit casserole.

 The audience.

 In Grenada, in fact everywhere in the West Indies, cruisers walk alot or take local buses that run regular routes. Here we saw the local highway department repairing pot holes. Look closely, yes, that is a wheelbarrow a shovel and a broom handle with palm leaves. We thought this was just a one time occasion but we noticed this going on all over the island in many different locations. Obviously this is standard equipment for this type of repair.

 We're walking, and walking, and walking.

Tim and Babs walking, and walking and walking.
