Wandering the streets - Wednesday.

e a

As Rob implied, some of the most interesting and fantastic things about Grenada can be seen by just wandering the streets. I have to leave it to Rob to write about the events, since it is beyond me to keep the snapshots that impress me straight in time and sequence.

Instead, I shall report with pictures on the scenes that burned into my memory as examples of the beauty and spirit of this unbelievable city.

Colonial buildings, remaining exactly as they have for hundreds of years, but now hosting cel repeaters and satellite dishes;
On the other side of the square we can hear music. As the sun was going down the kids you hear singing in the background were celebrating their first communion.

Here we have a 10 foot tall figure heading to the Square. "She" was accompanied by a boy of about six who was wearing a large can around his neck, and laying it like a snare drum. It also happened to have a hole cut in it so that you could toss a few Cordobas in it if you liked the show.
