Feb 16 – A 45 minute ride down from the hills in a packed van, followed by a 20 minute ride in a local van, got us to our next abode. The Bouganvillea apartments in bustling St. George’s, are just a block from beautiful Grand Anse Beach.
We have a kitchen here, and are near a grocery store, so we can be more in control of what we eat. I think we both gained 10 pounds eating Ingrid’s cooking! We’ll be here for our last week in Grenada.
The weather is exactly the same here on the coast as it was up in the hills; low of 78 and high of 82 degrees F every day. Ideal!
Our new home, complete with verandaGrand Anse beach – white sand, warm crystal clear waterThe beach is about a mile and a half long All beaches should have shady trees right near the shore – no umbrellas required!Our favorite street vendor made us some fresh Trinidadian doubles for lunch – curried chickpeas in a spicy pepper sauce wrapped in two flour tortillas.Yummy doubles!We checked out the local marketGrenada is known as the Spice Isle, so lots of spices are packed in little baggies for tourists – cinnamon, red pepper, turmeric, mace and gingerThe main export is nutmeg, here in its whole formLocal wildlife Pink clouds in the afternoonThe swimmers go home as the sun goes downWe could get used to this!
