There is a small town on the west coast of Grenada called Gouyave reknown for two things: its Friday's fish fry and its Nutmeg Processing plant (seen here in the picture). The day of our visit, the town was kind of depressed because of the road blockage ...in an effort to widen this very busy road, workers had detonated explosives and caused more damages than good (it appears that the contract for this job had been given to a firm whose prices were cheaper than all others bidders!!!) : as a result, rocks began falling on the road and it became unpassable! All traffic had to go through the interior (much longer) and on the way back, we had to walk, in the mud again, in order to catch the bus to St George!!! Adventures!!!!!!!
