DONUTS! and the "squirrels of grenada."

Good evening, everyone :)

Today was a new adventure with Emily and Marieke. Early on in our wanderings, we had spotted a fine local establishment called "Nick's Donut World." Marieke decided that it would be an awesome "Grenadian experience" to try it sometime...like, today. So we did.

Oooohh yessss!Stash was already low by 9am! And no AC meant that they were guaranteed to be warm...and very sticky/melty haha...
What my choice boiled down to...but you know that I can't resist chocolate. Maybe next time, glazed...
Marieke, very excited/pleased with her purchase.

We met the man we assumed to be Nick and the woman we think is his wife, bought two sprinkled chocolate glazed donuts, and sat in the semi-shade of Nick's with a man named Owen [everyone shares tables here]. Turns out Owen is a native Grenadian who lived in Brooklyn since he was 5, but recently returned to renovate his family home. He doesn't like the locals, and apparently they don't like him much either. Oh, America and its rep here *sigh*...Anyway, we've decided it will be our new "Luke's" [for all my girls who get that reference] and we want to try and hang out there at least once a week/every two weeks or so, and try to get to know some people :)

We then headed to Grand Anse beach, but I will make that a post for tomorrow so I don't run out of things to post on here. Plus, I don't want to overdo it on pictures and such :) But I DO want to share what I've personally dubbed as the local "squirrels"...crabs. There are everywhere, especially in little burrowed holes all along the street drainage system.
Apparently, they are not well liked as demonstrated by this picture:Do you see Stan? Don't do it, Stan! It's a trap!!! [I kind of wish I could know what they have in that thing that could possibly tempt a CRAB, but it LOOKS ingenious regardless]

On a random note, this is one of the grocery stores I frequent, IGA, as a matter of fact...located in the Spiceland Mall:

Anyway, that's all for now. Tomorrow we resume/finish our comparison shopping for apartments, Lord willing, and try to decide on which one might be best :) We are also going to back to the pool, where I will be hanging out in the shaded part. Awesome.

Hope all is well with all of you!! Please send/comment me questions on what you would like to see/know about the island! For real - I will need inspiration soon! :) Love to all.
