I don't know if you can read the blue sign on the corner building but we found our very own "Monckton Street" in St-George. The English took possession of this island in 1779 and it seems that Colonel Monckton left his mark in Grenada as well as back home.
Voir le petit enseigne de rue qui dit "Monckton Street". On a été bien surpris de trouver cette rue à St-George.
This is a Cashew fruit. Yes this is where the cashew comes from. It's large tree bears the fruit which looks like a small apple. Imagine how many apples it takes to fill a can of cashew. No wonder it is so expensive.
Voici un fruit de Cashew. Cela pousse dans un grand arbre comme un pommier. Un cashew par pomme alors imaginez-vous comment de pommes cela prend pour remplir une boite de cashew.
In July we toured Grenada with Cutty, our guide. He showed us different food that grows on the island.
This picture shows you a cocoa fruit which grows in a large tree. It is inside a hard shell and when you break it open you find many cocoa seeds glued to each other. They take these seeds and dry it for many weeks. At the end they grate it into a powder and makes cocoa balls. You grate this to make your cocoa powder and it is delicious nothing like what we buy back home.
Here's a bunch of us from the marina who participated to the Saturday Night Hashier Walk or Run. Basically you walk or jog for miles and miles up the mountain to test your endurance. This has been going on for many years and is a local initiative.
Voilà les grands atheles qui se préparent à un test d'endurance. On va marcher ou courir pour plusieurs milles à travers la montage de Grenade. C'est une coutume locale qui existe depuis plusieurs année et qui a lieu tous les deux samedi du mois.
