The Grande Finale

We have returned to Grenada after a long sail. About half way through the trip I thought to myself, "Why are we going to my least favorite island? How did dad get us to do this?"

We had some strange realizations being back in Grenada. Like in Grenada people stare you down and if you are different they say it out loud. One of the main reasons we went to Grenada was to pick up some teak from Grenada marine. My least favorite place on my least favorite island. But me and Amelia knew that our best Friend Adam was there so that lightened the blow. We never forgot how fast the buses went here but the one we took to Grenada marine was thee fastest we have ever had. Mom had us move into the seats in the middle so if the car flipped we would be safe. The grand finale of all bus rides.

We made it to Grenada marine and walked down the dreaded road and got attacked by dogs. We made it there and Adam was there. We had a great afternoon, went swimming and when it was time to go it was hard to leave. Mom and Dad sold the teak and we went back to the good old Artemo. The grand finale!

Attacked by dogs, that is awful! Hard to go back to a place you didn't like. Glad that you got to visit Adam, good friends are special and should be treasured.

Alex - Was it all really so bad??? Although there were problems because of Artemo, we can remember reading blogs about waterfalls, beaches, pet cats, and new friends. Those may be the things that you want to hold on to.
Lots of Love

I can understand why you didnt like grenada Alex. After all that is the place where you sat waiting for your boat to get fixed. Living in that harbor was anything but luxury living.Plus the heat was unbearable. The fun didnt start for you until after Grenada.

Ok, the funniest part about this blog is Alex's bio at the bottom. "I'm a red haired, hazel eyed witty boy."....lol, I think you stole that bio from your uncle Jason!
