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.

Protects the harbor's eastern entrance and has panoramic views of Grenada's southwestern coastline.
Great trip to Fort Frederick - easy to get to in a hire car and small entrance fee ECD 5.25. Stunning views of St George's, Grand Anse and the interior towards Grand Etang an My Qua Qua. Well maintained and full of history. A must for pictures alone!

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.

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.

Hilltop with fine views from the harbor's western promontory across the town's red-tiled roofs and church spires and over the Carenage.
This is the last Fort we visited of the 3 (,fort Frederick and Fort Matthew) there is a lot of beautiful views over town and from there you can see Sails restaurant worth a visit even on a rainy day!

Guarding the harbor entrance, the fort is an imposing structure, built on a promontory with walls more than four feet thick.
