New Foods, new flavours

1. Breadfruit, is yummy when it is cut up and made like French fries. I know because my mommy made some for us. We also tried it mashed, I didn't like it. It didn't taste very good.  I am still going to try it some other ways.

2. Roti is slow roasted chicken with potatoes (bread fruit) and lots of spices in a flat bread. Rolled up like a fajita. I had it the first day we arrived and I really liked it.

3. Jamaican patties. It is pastry stuffed with ground beef or chicken. It has either hot or mild spices. It is so good. I bought it at school. I ate it before I got to the classroom. It was $5 ECD.

4.Genups are small fruit that are sold at the side of the road. They are about $1 for a bunch. I don't love them but Aiden does.

5. Chinese plum's are another small fruit I tried and don't like either.

6. Rock Figs are a tiny banana.

7. Avocado, which I didn't like  but will try again.

8. Curries noodle dish. My mom makes this it is my favourite dish here.

10 Things different about my house

1. Doesn't have a pool.
2. Doesn't really have a front or back yard.

3. We live on one story of three story house.

4. We have a deck that wraps around the house.

5. It has three bars across the street.

6. It has three bedrooms, and every bedroom has a fan.

7. The kitchen is not as fancy as at home. We don't have a dishwasher, a toaster, and the oven doesn't work. You have to light a match to turn on the stove.

8. There are goats and dogs everywhere- I love that part.

9. There is no tv.

10. The walls are all the same colour and there are no decorations!

Even though it is not as nice as our house in Brighton, it has a nice view of the harbour.

Sea Snake!!

Last weekend we went snorkeling at BBC beach. We saw a sea snake. Dad says they can be poisonous, even if it doesn't look like you are bothering it you should stay away.

I didn't love the beach. It had seaweed in many parts of the water, and there were a ton of Jack fish.

A white sea urchin is fine to pick up from the ocean floor, but black ones will hurt you. My daddy found a sea urchin and put it on Mommy's hand. She thought it tickled and giggled a lot!

Trip on the Carib Cat

Old library in Carnage  St. George

Our friend Meena who lives two houses down invited us to come with her on a boat tour. Meena is the hostess of the catamaran tour. We went yesterday at 2:00 p.m.

We met at our house and drove down to Carnage outside of the public library. The library was destroyed in hurricane Ivan 10 years ago and still hasn't been rebuilt. About 20 people were taking the tour.

We sailed for about an hour, then we stopped at Flamingo Bay. We had to jump off the boat. I was scared, you couldn't see the bottom. Aiden and dad went first, then I jumped in. I swan with mom. We saw pretty blue fish and browny silvery fish. We also saw pretty giant leaf like plants underwater. We stayed there for 45 minutes. Meena helped people who had never snorkeled or had gone swimming before!

Meena at the sculpture park

Then we went for a fifteen minute ride over to the sculpture park. There were about 13 sites where sculptures were. The reef was also wiped out by hurricane Ivan so the park was put there to help rebuild the reef. The first sculpture was kind of scary because it was dark in the water and some of the people sculptures fell over. Some of the sculptures were to remember slaves who were killed by their "owners" crossing to Grenada. Another sculpture "Christ of the Harbour" was put in memory of passengers of an Italian cruise ship that caught fire leaving St. George.

We also saw millions of Jack fish.

It was pretty on the ride back since the sun was setting. Meena gave us cookies, chips and Coke, she's awesome. She is like Nelly, a friend of my mom's back home!

Flying to Grenada

A couple of days ago we flew in to Grenada. It was a five and a half hour long flight to Trinidad and Tobago. To Grenada it was only a forty minute flight. It was a nice fight.
