Hello, from Grenada!


Hi All!
I've finally made my way down to Grenada, and thought you might be interested in reading my journals of the move! There was so much to do in getting ready for this... I didn't have time to keep up with everyone.

I've been here for about 3 weeks now and we're just beginning to find our new "normal" daily life. There is plenty to keep us busy, but the first thing we MUST do is get the screens fixed... windows & doors! The mosquitoes this time of year are terrible! But the beautiful breeze through the house is heavenly! Although we're currently in the rainy season, we've had a stretch of 3 beautiful sunny days... with just a short shower passing through here & there.

I'm working on picking paint colors for the interior walls & looking for fabric for curtains. (I brought my sewing machine with me!) I've ventured into the city by myself, which includes driving our Suzuki... on the LEFT side of the road! And yesterday I bravely set out to get my hair cut at a local salon (see above photo from my webcam). Monday & Tuesday is Carnival in Grenada, so all the businesses will be closed. I'm planning to head out with my camera to see if I can get some great shots!

If you want to read more about my "adventures", you can check out my blog: http://coopersingrenada.blogspot.com/... feel free to keep in touch with me there!
