BLUES OF GRENADA
GRENADA - APRIL 2011
"THE CELEBRITY SUMMIT IN ST. GEORGE'S"
"THE CARENAGE - St. George’s waterfront promenade, winding around the Inner Harbour, it’s the town’s seafront hub and ringed by wonderful buildings from the colonial era"
"CHRIST OF THE DEEP & CHURCHES - On October 22nd 1961, the Costa Line cruise ship Bianca C, under the command of Captain Francisco Crevaco, got on fire and ended at the bottom of the sea. The rescue operation took some two hours to complete and Costa Lines offered a monument to thank people of Grenada for the help. They should probably do the same to the people of Isola del Giglio..."

Hi Folks! Hope you are having a great holiday season, rain or shine, depending of the hemisphere...
As expected, 2013 has been, up to now, worse than 2012, on the economy side... But today is a special day for my wife and me, so let’s forget and dive into the Caribbean... Enjoy the blues of Grenada, and have a great vacation, if you can manage!!
All the best!
Hi GT

Hi Trotter, glad that you have a relaxing time to forget the bad times. Thanks for visiting me, I have been a little slow in my posting. Have a nice day.
Brilliant blues!
Good to see you back!!
Hi Gil!
I missed seeing your posts! I'm glad you are back. Did you know I moved form New York to Colorado? My husband and I wanted to be close to our grandchildren.
Grenada looks hot and steamy but beautiful! I looked back on a few of your posts to see what else I missed.
Hi Gil,
I've missed you!! I hope everything is okay for you and family. Thank you for dropping by my blog. Anyways, welcome backkk!!
wow, the views are spectacular!
Brilliant pictures, Gil. Thank you so much. Such a pleasure looking them over.
Warm regards and best wishes, as ever!
Your post inspires me to go on holidays ! Beautiful pictures !
Hi Gil, great to see you are on the road again!
I love the shots of the town & the cozy looking harbor. The shots from your ship are really stunning, and so is the sunset!
I'm sorry to hear things are worse for you and for many others as the whole world grows more tense. However, it's reassuring to discover you posting again, and I enjoyed the tour of Grenada. It's been a mystery to me since we invaded.
I hope things improve for you and for all.
Gil, absolutely tickled to see you posting again and visiting. You have been missed. My favorite of all those beautiful photos....that last black and white one of the on deck chairs
Hello there! Glad you are back. Lovely pictures as always. Hope all's well at home. Take care!
Hi Gil!
Nice to see you again!
I can imagine life is not easy right now. We're having strong political bebate how to deal, survive in EU crisis...more and more national debt or not etc. Traditional industry is in big trouble, social costs are getting higher and higher....
But we had a warm, even hot, long and sunny summer.
Take care!
The opening vista is just breath-taking. Great to see you back blogging. :)
Wonderful shots of great looking place.
Beautiful Blues you share of Grenada!
Glad to know you and your wife decided to celebrate! May the direction of the wind turn and you sail into a smooth end of this year.

Wow, so beautiful! I have never thought of visiting Grenada before but I can see that I was mistaken!
Hello! gorgeous photos as usual. I hope all is well with you and your family :)
I FINALLY wrote a blog entry today..after sooo many months! Do check out the beautiful murals of Penang Island :)
Amazing photos and wonderful write up. I am thrilled. Best wishes
Lovely photos, Gil!
Lovely pictures as usual, yet another place I would love to visit :-)
Dear Gill,
Wonderful captures. This time it is Grenada, I remember as a boy collecting postal stamps. For quite some time I too was distancing myself from the Computer due to problems I have recently developed in my eyes. Hopefully they will be alright in a month or so.
such wonderful photos. I'm always amazed at the sight of a ship looming over the skyline!
Merry X-mas, Gil and... a happy new 2014 in a few days.
