Grenada -- On! On!

We are continuing to settle into life here in Grenada. Last week I began volunteering at the GSPCA (like the ASPCA, only G for "Grenada"). It's the island's animal shelter and they take in strays as well as do vaccines, spays and neutering. It's been a long time since I've been in an animal clinic atmosphere but on Thursday they were so busy that they had me draw blood and monitor anaesthesia during surgery, so it was a lot of fun and I started to remember all the things I've forgotten how to do over the years.

After we got back from the last Hash House Harriers event, we told the other cruisers here at the marina all about it and this week everyone was eager to join us. So Saturday evening twelve of us took a taxi into Grand Mal for the "moonlit hash". It started off at dusk, with everyone following the trail and charging through local folks' backyards shouting "On! On!". By the end it was dark enough that you needed a flashlight to see where you were going. Everyone had a great time and had lots of beers afterwards so the taxi ride home was a bit rowdy, with everybody singing "We Are The Champions" at the top of their lungs. Which was perfect, because everyone stuck around for karaoke once we got back to the marina. Our friends on Adventure Bound had just flown in from their visit home to the States/Canada, so it was a nice reunion and everyone partied til midnight.
