Lunch in the Clouds

Grenada offers so many options for trail hiking. With the same trio of couples as last week, we elected this time to go to new heights J.

Grand Etang Lake is a volcanic crater lake, and there are several hiking trails in that area, and so we decided to ride the city bus there. Guilloume & Gwen had been there once before, and had taken the shoreline trail, which they described as often ankle deep in mud; and so we chose a trail that went up instead.

The photos tell the story…..

so very green

 the effect of those easterly tradewinds  .... reminds us of the muskokas

beer at lunch impairs judgement

Gil's there too (see him?) - he didn't have as many beer

 attention getters

"I Love You, Di!"

 the mud baths were included

survivors

A new record was set on the city bus home – 22 people (21 passengers + the driver)! Where we’d sit 3 across back home, 5 would sit across on a bench seat – we were packed like sardines.

In other news, since last blog:  .... we attended a Sunday concert, with 5 Grenadian bands vying for best original song, showcasing impressive talent for an island with 100,000 people;  and found fantastic roadside jerk chicken on Monday.
