The Colors of Grenada

I was looking back on all the pictures I have taken and I noticed all the colors!  Granted, a lot of them were from Carnival (called Spicemas by the locals)!  So here goes, enjoy the colors of Grenada.

Nature always provides the best colors!

Boat along the Carenage in downtown St. George

The many colors of Mexican Train.  I enjoy a game once or twice a week. 

Flags (and people) from around the world are represented.

I believe the costumes these women are wearing represented a tropical drink!

Dancing on the street!

This was the family parade.

. Young and old, all dressed up!

Each group had a queen...

or King.

And lots of well decorated dancers.

All were having a great time.

Loud music and lots of energy, especially from the kids!

Lots of smiles... and glitter!

But life in Grenada is more than just partying on the street.  We have to shop too!

The Wednesday morning farmers market always has a beautiful bounty of vegetables, eggs, spices and more.  Glenda is my favorite vendor.

And there is always time for a little fun.  We are getting ready to take a hike through the rainforest to...

Seven Sisters Waterfall.  The reward was diving into to this clear lake and letting the current and falls hit you.  Natures own jacuzzi!

Some friends talked us into participating in a "Hash" with the Grenadian Hash House Harriers.  HHH is an international group of non-competitive running social clubs.  It's a great way to see parts of the island as hashes are held in different locations every Saturday.  

Unfortunately for us, first timers (or virgins) are doused in beer after completing their first hash.
Not all of it was wasted, however!
