Oasis

After supper this evening Aiden wanted to go for a walk, and I was wiped from teaching a health class, so a walk sounded like a good pick-me-up.

In Grenada you never walk side-by-side. That would result in your untimely death so you walk like goats in a line. At Lagoon Road there is a sidewalk which is almost wide enough for two people so we were able to walk and talk as we headed toward Port Louis. (Which is about a five minute walk from home.) I was not really expecting to be able to get in, I thought we would be told it was private property at the gate house.

Instead we found a wide road- eureka! Paved with cobble stones and with absolutely no traffic. You get so accustomed to walking single file it is hard to give yourself permission to walk on the road. So we tentatively walked down the road, past a bakery and down to the main buildings. It turns out the entire port is full of wide, really wide walk ways where the whole family could have walked together!

And it was quiet. You don't really notice how loud your surroundings are until you get somewhere quiet. It was so peaceful that Aiden and I agreed we would have to come up more often to take a break from the city. Check out how beautiful it is!
