After a week of being here, I am learning to slow down. And even when I slow down, I find myself still passing the locals on those narrow sidewalk (if they have any!). The funny thing is that when you get into a conversation with a Grenadian... they talk so 'fast' - I can only understand 50% of what they're saying (and it's English!). These paradoxes seem to abound. It's Sunday and VERY quiet in Grenada (no stores are open) so I went to the beach to chill and escape the heat & mosquitos. See picture below...
Tomorrow is my 1st day at work in Sauteurs - pronounced Sawtez which is at the north end of the island opposite to where I am. I will use the public transit & have been told to take the 'regular' bus NOT the 'pound the road' (express bus in N.A. terms except they pick up anyone along the way). This is a picture (below) of the Financial Complex where my office will be in St. Georges. It's the building on the left with the palm tress out front.
It looks beautiful. I've never been one for bus rides, but maybe if I was arriving at an office building next to the water I could handle it.
