Lilly does Grenada!

My good friend Lilly, one of the Peace Corps volunteers from St. Lucia, finally came to visit the Isle of Spice! She stayed for 2 weeks (which still wasn't enough time), so let me tell the story in frames, since we like to think of the vacation as one big photo shoot. :)

You can't come to Grenada without seeing Grand Anse Beach.
We shared everything, except the same SPF.Fish Friday and karaoke in Gouyave with the other volunteers.

We were pretty excited to frolic together once again.

There was a face-off with the village goat in Victoria.
I taught Lilly the art of "The Little Mermaid" impression at the swimming hole...she's still learning.We walked to the gorgeous Levera Beach, where the Caribbean and Atlantic meet.
We did some jumping.
We met a Rasta named "Wooden Balls" with locks down to the ground who showed us his newly born goats.
We took a much-needed break from the sun at the St. Patrick's Street Jam.
Being the good little housewife that she is, Lilly baked cinnamon rolls one morning and we managed to eat the entire batch within hours.
We caught a Carriacou sunset on our way back to Dan's house.
We rented bikes (us girls got a discount!) and went for a long ride across Carriacou.
Our off-roading led us to discovering a hidden beach called Anse la Roche.
We did some jumping there too, of course.
One of our many photo shoots at Paradise Beach...this one's entitled "Hey Big Spender!"
Lilly is a workout Nazi so we had to squeeze in some exercise on the beach, and Lilly's signature handstand.
I got dressed first one morning and Lilly liked my outfit so much that, well...
And one of my favorite things to do, jumping off the Seven Sisters Waterfalls (without a guide). Lilly wasn't very happy with me when we got to the big falls.
