Today I got up early and went to the school to pick up my ID and finish registering. I had to go early because a bunch of people from the branch had invited us to go to another beach called La Sagesse and they were heading up at 10am. Well, I didn't finish at the school till 11am-ish so we headed up at 11:30-12:00. The map says it is 9 miles away, but it takes about 24 minutes to get there and the path is very unclear. We knew we had to take a left, then a sharp right, then another right. Where we had to do each of these was uncertain though. HAH. Cherish being the great driver that she is got us there with no problems. I would have gotten us lost for sure! When we got there I was less than impressed. For being as far away as it was I was expecting more.
The main reason everyone comes here is because they have boogie-boards and kayaks for rent and the waves make it fun for such things.
As I mentioned before, I already saw real waves on the island and this beach did not have any. The crests were maybe 5' high at most and barely reached the shore. It was still fun though and a good place to learn how to boogie-board. Even Bear tried it!
We also met some young kids at the beach who were American-Grenadians. They were born on the island, but their parents are Americans who have been living in Grenada for a number of years. The reason I bring them up is because they had 2 dogs with them that gave Bear his first encounter with fleas! They were covered in them and before we knew that Bear had already sniffed and layed all over them. We haven't seen anything on him yet and we bathed him after this encounter, but I will keep you all posted. After some boarding, some swimming and some walking on the beach we headed home and bid adieu to La Sagesse.
