On Wednesday night, Josh and I went to Dodgy Dock for the second time because they have 5e.c. for 5 chicken wings and 3 for 10e.c. Carib's. For all who aren't aware, an "e.c" stands for "Eastern Caribbean Dollar" and 1 US dollar = 2.67 e.c.'s. So basically, you can get 5 chicken wings for $2.00 US and 3 beers for $4.00 US which means Josh was all for it. And any night I don't have to cook dinner means I'm all for it. Josh got his fill of wings and beers and even with the great deals on wings and beer on Wednesday nights, I ordered a chicken cesar salad and a Diet Coke. Josh said he may have to leave me at home next time. I guess I'm just not a wings and beer kinda girl.

We have had a little visitor in our house the last two nights. Our friends Rachel and Brain have family in town and went off to Carriacou for a few days and needed someone to dogsit their child Marley. Being the dog lover that I am, I of course agreed to take the little guy for a couple days. I was sad to see him go today and plan on trying to convince Josh that we might need a "Marley" too.
I obviously didn't know that SOMEONE was rudely taking a picture of Marley and I napping! |
The University Club is a place where apparently, many of the SGU professors stay when they are guest teaching in Grenada. It has a pool, a private beach, hammocks, kayaks, and a cafe. The SO's are lucky enough to be able to use it on Mondays and Thursdays for free. I have now been there a few times. Based on the pictures, I don't think I need to elaborate on why I like to spend time there.

Josh and I went to Prickley Bay last Friday to see the steel drum band that plays live music every Friday night. Lots of students were there and the pizza was good.

I just finished reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett. If you haven't read it yet, go get it. Fast.

One of my BFF's Alexa just got engaged to Micah a couple of weeks ago. Right before we left to come to Grenada. Josh and I are SO completely happy for the two of them who plan to get married in June 2012. And guess what!?!? This week she sent me this!
To which I of course said YES!

And lastly, today I went to Grand Anse Beach again with Ryan, Allison, and Austin. I took Marley with me and spent most of my time trying to keep that spaz of a dog under control. :) But it was a beautiful afternoon and I couldn't help but snap yet ANOTHER picture of this fabulous beach.
Hey Stephanie! I forgot to ask if I could link to your blog from ours. It makes checking out your adventures in the West Indies so much faster and easier. Sigh... I wish our second year of the program was somewhere warm. As you can probably guess, it's raining here. :)
