Today we arrived in the St. George’s, Grenada, also known as the Isle of Spice. It’s the smallest independent country in the Western Hemisphere made up of three islands (Carriacou, Petite Martinique and Grenada). Grenada is one of the world’s major producers of nutmeg, mace clove, cinnamon and cocoa. There are plenty of shops selling these spices. One local ordinance is that no building can be built higher than a coconut palm.
Cindy bought a nice little basket full of various spices. The lady that sold it to her added some extra nutmeg nuts and recipes to the package.
The weather today is the nicest we have seen. The temperature is 82 degrees and very little humidity.
Depart at 2:00pm today en route to Curacao. Don’t get to Curacao tomorrow until 1:00pm.
