Mom's First Week: Part 2

On Sunday morning we went to a wonderful brunch at Le Papillion Cafe.  The owned came over and talked to us about being born and raised in Grenada.   She explained that during the unrest of the 80's she and her family moved to Canada and could not wait to return to the island.  The food was superb and we all left feeling like we gained a few pounds!!

This was Caitlin's french toast with cinnamon and nutmeg-- it was delicious.

For dessert we ordered apple fritters --just what we needed was dessert after our very appetizing brunch!!!

Today Caitlin and I went to St. George's,
 which is the capital of Grenada.  We started our tour at the spice market and met many very friendly Grendians. They all wanted to sell us many wonderful spices --which we decided not to purchase because there where just too many choices!!
After the market we walked through a one way tunnel with cars zooming past us and people walking the other direction so we are all trying to squeeze through this not very wide opening with nothing between us and the zooming cars!!  I couldn't wait to get to the other side of the tunnel and I'm happy to announce --- we made it safely!!!

This is the view from the water looking onto St. George--the colors of the houses are so spectacular!!  Ninety percent of the roofs were destroyed during hurricane Ivan in 1994 and rebuilding has been difficult because of financial restrains.

This is the restaurant where we had lunch.  It was located on the water and had wonderful breezes and the water was so clear you could look down and see all the fish swimming around.
