We took a bus up with CSA for $20EC a person... the Flamboyant Hotel was taking people for $60EC a person! so it was a good deal! It takes about 50min-an hour to get there... and we only traveled 14 miles! It was a very scenic route though and I'm sad it got dark before we got there because I didn't get to see too much towards the end.... but we did see a landfill on fire! and burning is banned right now! and burning a landfill is double bad! I had wondered where all our garbage had been going though.... hm.
So we finally made it & it just a tiny town that is the "Fishing Capital of Grenada" not a major accomplishment when the island only has like 10 towns, but they do have a lot of fish there! The food vendors were set up along two streets barely leaving enough room to walk through and there were a ton of people crowding in.... and it was HOT. I wore jeans because it usually gets a little cooler a night........ not that night.
I had fried breadfruit (because I don't eat fish.... well except the Marlin I had tonight, but that's another story) and a garlic bun and LLB! Lee had a fishcake on a coconut bake bun... it sounds good.. and he LOVED it! and it was only $2EC! and later he and his Dad had lobster! whole tails! for $50EC... I tasted it but I can't make myself like lobster.... yuck.
They also have live music.... drums and people dancing. It was fun, but in my opinion not worth the drive more than once or twice. A great thing for a person visiting to do and see & everyone should go at least once! but I'll save the money it takes to get there & eat elsewhere. but this is also coming from a non-fish eater. so....

sounds like fun! I want to go!
This sounds like such a good time. We get in on Thursday night so I am thinking it will be the beach during the day then off to Fish Friday at night. Saturday is for the Market day with Sunday finding a church to go to. I am hoping to get to the Nazarene church in Fontenoy. Our agenda is developing nicely. Thanks for your blog I am really enjoying it along with others from your site.
