Nice family we met from England.

Footprints in the sand in a photograph always look like they are raised instead of sunken.

Terri and I booked a resort in Grenada during the school Christmas break. This is a beautiful lush island in the southern Caribbean, just north of South America. It was devastated by a hurricane a couple years before. Most of the damage had been cleaned up. We had a great time doing the usual swimming, sunning and snorkelling. We met a really a really nice family of four. We got along well with the husband and wife and their two boys although quite different were easy to get along with. We spent a lot of time with them on the beach and took a catamaran ride with them and a tube ride behind a speed boat too.

We took a couple of drives around the island enjoying the scenary, the roads and the people. On the Friday night we went with the family to the Gouyave Night Market, where we could sample all sorts of seafood as well as the local rum and beer drinks.
