The Spice Isle

I have been Mrs. Hot Cup for 20 days and I love it! I’ll share a little about the wedding day but I’m waiting until I have the pictures back from the photographer.

For our honeymoon we went to the Caribbean island Grenada. It is a beautiful island with so much to see and we had such a great time! Hot Cup had planned it wonderfully, we saw a lot of great things and enjoyed ourselves very much the entire time. I don’t know what pictures to share so here’s a ton (click on them to see them bigger).

The capital city, St George’s:
> Downtown
> From Fort George
> From our hotel

Some Beaches:
> Grand Anse Beach (by our hotel)
> LaSagesse Beach
> Palmiste Beach

Carriacou (a sister island of Grenada):
> Overlooking Hillsborough (I have a club soda to help me feel better after the ferry ride.)
> Pretty view
> Us on Paradise Beach with Sandy Island in the background

> The road to the hot springs (actually not a bad spot right here, it was a tough drive, good thing we rented a jeep! And good thing Hot Cup was driving!)
> Grand Etang Lake (in a volcano crater, elevation 1740 ft)
> Nutmeg plant … bags of nutmeg (Grenada produces many different spices including 40% of the world’s nutmeg. I should have taken pictures on the tour but I wasn’t thinking. However I can tell you all about how they process nutmeg.)

Belmont Estate Cocoa Plant:

> Pretty view from Carib’s Leap
> Hot Cup hiking to a waterfall
> Us at a waterfall

I <3 my husband and I <3 Grenada.

3 Days Left

Lots already done. Lots still to do.

Wedding planning is busy business. I think I'm on track enough. But I'm excited for it to be here, and even gone, because then I'll be with Hot Cup :)

I take a short break to bring you “The Ultimate Australian Cookie,” “A Girl’s Best Friend in Australia.” At least that’s what my co-workers call them. I think that second one is funny because it’s the guys in the office that are so excited. Twice in the last week someone gave us Tim Tams, which is apparently a favorite cookie in Australia.
