Monday is Kitty's day off and I like to go play with her every chance I get. Today is a very special day in St. George's, The Carenage, where* *Professor Benoit Berard from the French West Indies University will lead a group of 60 persons with a carib canoe on a visit to Grenada on Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th May. They will be reenacting the arrival of the Caribs (Kalinagos) from South America and their spread through the eastern Caribbean from Grenada. The visit is being coordinated by the Grenada National Museum.

The canoe, with 27 paddlers,departs Martinique at 5.30p.m. on Sunday May 9 and paddling through the night expect to arrive in Grenada in the afternoon of May 10th, accompanied by three catamarans with a television crew and two fishing boats.

We wanted to be there for it!

The Museum is planning a warm Grenadian welcome on the Carenage so Kitty, Charles and I showed up on a bus to find out when the canoe would arrive! Ooooops, 7 or 8p tonight. We won't be there. Buses stop running to the outback where we are in Lower Woburn early in the evening.

Shucks, darn!

We visited the farmers market, my favorite place, the gardens of the town square, Nutmeg House, a great restaurant that opened again and had another memorable day.

We didn't see the canoe, but what an event that was....Thanks Grenada National Museum and the French West Indies University! Very cool.
