We are off to explore the island. We could see the Morne Rouge Beach (also called BBC beach) from top of the hill. We will target to see the sunset from there this evening.

At first glance, it is a bit unnerving!

The black rocks nearby – remnants of the volcanic activities that created much of the Lesser Antilles – get pulverized by the waves and bring in this color to the sand.

In a nod to George Bush, Sharmila practices “No mangoes left behind” policy. We could not get any street side mango vendor here. Not the proper season now. I remember in many islands – Aruba, Fiji, Cabo, Cancun, Costa Rica (well, last one is not an island) – stopping on the side of the road so she could try out the local mangoes! In Grenada, she had the hotel folks procure local mangoes for breakfast the next day!
