Grenada, one of the smallest independent islands in the Caribbean, turns 37 38 39 years old today.
On February 7, 1974, Grenada was granted independence from Great Britain. Grenada consists of the main land, Carriacou, Petite Martinique, and six smaller islands at the southern end of the Grenadines. Known as "The Island of Spice", Grenada is one of the worlds largest exporters of the nutmeg and mace crops.
Not only is Grenada a fantastic island, it is the home of my parents and the place I spent many years growing up. I love this tiny island with all my heart, 37 38 39 years and more to come!
Big up yuh self Grenada! Greenz to the world!

ReplyDeleteLovely serene Grenada, I love your pictures, and the great information that went along with them. I found you through Machine Wash Warm's blog, glad I took the time to come over and read :) As a travel agent and lover of fashion I have both a travel and a fashion blog soon will be posting information on different ports of call as I do more cruise than land vacations so want to make sure that folks get to see key areas when they stop for a day...
