Valentines Day in Grenada

We didn't really have any plans for Valentine's Day - no romantic sunset cruise or serenading by a Reggae band:) But we had a great day - and hope everyone at home did too.

We started out with a quiet breakfast on our deck, then headed out to explore L'Anse Aux Epines and a couple of other areas we hadn't seen before. We also thought we would visit Mt.Hartman, a protected area that is home to the exlusive Grenada Dove.

We didn't find the way to Mt.Hartman - we figure if we stop looking, we'll stumble across it eventually! But we did find our way to L'Anse - there were some very luxurious homes there - we figure if we win the lottery one day we could buy one and move here lol.

We headed out to the point and had stunning views of Prickly Bay, and also had a chance to check out the lighthouse - so far it is the only one we have found here.

From the lighthouse, we headed into Grand Anse to pick up a few groceries. Barry also wanted to stop at the South St.George Police Station - and met a few of the Royal Grenadian Police officers stationed there. He had a chance to ask them questions about their service and their police force before getting a picture in front of the station. You can't take a picture without permission!

After that, it started to rain - and it was the end of the day so we headed back to Woburn. We ate in - I made Shepherd's Pie and Brownies with ice cream for dinner - which you all know Barry really likes - and was a nice treat for Valentines Day. Even better - I actually won two hands of crib! Our game tally is B 8 - P 5.
