The Mt. Rich petroglyphs comprise several large boulders set in a deep ravine, with over 60 pre-Columbian carvings. The Interpretation Center offers a viewing platform, recently renovated by a local youth group (MYCEDO) who offers information on the petroglyphs ($5 EC) and a tour around the abandoned estates and villages nearby ($15EC).

It is a must see for people who are actually interested in the history of this amazing island. Carmen gave us a tour down to the riverside where you find the petroglyphs. We could see them up close and see even more (work)stones that can not been seen from the veranda that is looking over the stones. You can choose if you only want to look through the binaculours from above or the whole tour, we went as I said down to the stones. It is pretty hard for people who are less flexible to go down. But it is worth your time and effort. It took us 5 minutes to go down and there we were looking at 1300 year old carved stones! It was amazing! Carmen was very passionate about perserving this pearl of history. Keep it up!

We spent a lovely afternoon at the Tower Estate, first touring the beautiful gardens with flowers and fruit trees -- avocado, mango, carambola -- and then the historic great house with lots of memorabilia from World Wars 1 and 2. Old photographs of the several generations of family. Very personal tour and interesting anecdotes by a family member. We also enjoyed afternoon tea on the veranda, a very pretty setting with cucumber sandwiches, chocolate and carrot cake muffins, and cake. The blue butterfly pea flower tea was tasty and pretty. If you are looking for a way to spend an afternoon that is not the typical beach holiday, this is a marvelous way to do it.

You can buy several spices, including nutmeg, vanilla, cinnamon and cloves, at Dougaldston, one of the island's oldest and largest nutmeg plantations.

We really enjoyed Dougaldston Estate with Sheldon our tour guide. It was not tourist orientated in any way. The girls were excellent showing us all the spices and were honest to say what countries allowed spices to be brought in. Even a young child in our group enjoyed the tour.

We visited the factory as part of an all island tour. The island is still recovering from Hurricane Ivan, which destroyed over 90% of all nutmeg trees. The detail involved in processing the nutmegs is fascinating!

The Soviet abandoned some of their planes at Pearls Airport and they are still here. Many tourists flog to this attraction. We have no idea why these Russian planes were abandoned. It is now an attraction for tourists. Worthwhile to see!

The people of Grenada were so excited about the Americans coming to their country. The monument is special for them. Ronald Reagan sent soldiers, because a despot came to be their president. Reagan named the mission: "Operation Urgent Fury." This happened in October 24 until November 21. 19 American soldiers were killed. Still, when I walk in the streets of Grenada, the locals are pride for the president. He saved the students at the St. George's University and the population. The monument is mostly white and has a lot of plaques. There are wooden seats as well. Worthwhile to see!

A despot took Grenada in his own power. The president of the states sent soldiers to save the students, as well as the people in Grenada. When the coup was over, everybody was relieved. At the St.George's University, they made a monument. This is what they wrote: "Here inscribed on this memorial are the signatures of the United States Servicemen who gave their lives. In the evacuation of the students of St, George's University School of Medicine on October 25, 1983 dedicated by St. George's university, School of Medicine and parents network October 29, 1984," This is written on wood on a huge slab of a tree. The slab was protected with a white contraption and a black metal to protect against rain. These students were so relieved when the coup was over.
