7/25/05 My first weekend

Over the weekend I took the car out and started to explore the area (AWAY from the town this time). I discovered that there are exactly zero street signs on Grenada but fortunately there aren't too many good quality roads, so I figure if I stay on paved road I should find my way back...eventually. That, and the fact that Grenada is a relatively small island.

There is a really great beach called Grand Anse within a 5 minute drive which seems very popular even with the locals. The water is clear blue and WARM!









It was a little cloudy on Saturday but you get the idea of what is around. This is the view from Quarantine Point, the site of a former Leper colony (hope they picked up the place).



It rained, and HARD, most of the day on Sunday so Peggy took me around for drive to the other side of the island. We had beers at hotel in a nature preserve called La Sargesse. This is a place that I will definitely have to visit when the sun is shining.
