Mom and Dad Enns...part 2

During Mom and Dad's visit, although we/they did plenty of resting, we also managed to make it out to see a few sites. This first picture is from Anandale Falls. It is a very pretty location with some nice landscaping around the area and it is very easy to access from the parking lot. This means that when the cruise ships are in port it is pretty busy, but we were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves for our visit. We took a 'shortcut' back down a narrow, bumpy and occasionally dirt road through the interior. We actually quite enjoyed the ride and were again grateful that we made the decision to rent a vehicle instead of depending on public transportation. There are, as always a lot of scenic places in Grenada that we could show you photos of, but we will have to save something for when we return! By the way, that will be on April 17, our flight will arrive around 9:50 AM I think.




We were also invited to the GRENCODA staff party where mom and dad got to see first hand how much work it is to make Grenada's national dish Oildown. Dad even pitched in and peeled those tricky green bananas with the rest of the men.


Dad also picked up the Cricket bat and learned a few of the basics of Cricket, Grenada's most popular sport with football (soccer in North America) coming a close second. It helps that Grenada is one of the West Indian countries hosting the Cricket World Cup from April 10 - 20, so Cricket fever is running high.

Of course, that meant that he deservedly got a nice full plate of Oildown.

Most evenings, we sat down at the table to play some games. We seem to have gotten the "Settlers of Catan" bug well and fully instilled in mom and dad. For those of you who don't know the game, give us a call when we're back and we'll be glad to introduce you!
