Port Louis

Two weeks ago a couple other SOs and I went to this pretty little place called Port Louis.  It's probably the closest you get to American while you're here.  The rich people bring their nice yachts into this port and do some shopping and eating here before heading back out to sea.

To get there, we took a Reggae Bus.  Basically, it's a van that they stuff full of people.  Those two girls on the left are sitting on what they call "jumper seats."  It's a seat in the aisle that folds up into an armrest when no one is in it (you know, so you can actually get in and out of the van).

The best part about this port is the little bakery called The Merry Baker.  They make almond croissants, cheese buns, Chelsea buns (cinnamon rolls), meat pies, and sausage rolls.  All of it is delicious.  We stopped by to check it out and all of us left about $10 lighter but with some yummy yummy food!

Here is a picture of the actual port:

Complete with an old-fashioned pirate-ship-looking boat:

And these cute, colorful shops and restaurants:

 It's quite honestly the best-maintained, nicest-looking part of Grenada I've ever been in.  Oh, and if you noticed the shiny ground it rained on and off the whole time we were there, but luckily the sun came out when we got to the palm tree walkway:

 

Now if only I could find that recipe for almond croissants so I don't have to take a bus and spend $3 every time I want one...
