Friends from Canada have arrived to get a sense of life in Grenada &... no doubt, escape the cold for some R&R. It also gives me a chance to see things I haven't visited. For example, went to the Nutmeg Factory in Gouyave where they dry & manually sort 5 grades (sizes) of nutmeg for export.
....the Diamond Factory in Victoria where they process the cocoa beans into chocolate branded Jouvay (this is 1 of 2 Grenadian brands - the other is the Grenada Chocolate Company). The factory and land was a former plantation built in the late 1700's.
...even saw local farmers pick the cocoa beans along the roadside & another, delivering it to the Diamond Chocolate Factory
Ended the day by returning to St. George's via Grand D'Etang, a rainforest up in the mountains with no monkeys to be seen - likely hiding during the rain mist we had.
