We just can't wait to walk about the lagoon and feel our way around. It hasn't even been 24 hours since we tied up to the marina and we're already up early on day two to explore this beauiful place called St. Georges. We are hoping to beat the heat, but it doesn't matter, we're going anyway. With eyes bugged out eastward towards the lagoon, and then westward up the hill at the architecture, we soaked it all in. Whiplash seemed possible, but we forged ahead with delight. The fruit vendors, the fisherman, the local markets, the 'skin-ups' (a chinett, fruit that all the locals are munching on) and the most friendly people bustling about grinning like chesser cats. We've been told time and time again that the Grenandians were VERY nice, and darned if they aren't right. We seem to have endless energy when a new country or village is waiting to be checked out. This day it's both and our adrenelin is up, but it's July already and it's downright steamy. We're soaked, we're thrilled with the sites and the newness of it all and we're done for the day. My honey is amazing, even after walking all morning well into the afternoon oven, he keeps up with me and never stops. We decided to stop, for lunch at the Island Grill, looking out over the busy Carenage.

We are thrilled to be here in Grenada at last. We made it, a year later than planned, but isn't that what cruising is about! It's not about the destination, it's about the journey. And journey we did on foot this morning, returning by bus with laughing and squalking locals back to the marina. We are so obviously tourists and they don't mind a bit answering our questions or freely passing out info. . Check out the pics of our first glimpse of St. George's! Sweet. The Album is called Carenage/Wharf, St. Georges!

OOOOOOH LA LA, the smells...It's the Spice Island for sure!
