We walked in-front of this fort.  We Loved Grenada!

Fort George is located on the promontory to the west of the harbor.  It was built in 1705 by the French.  As of now many of the buildings are used by the police.

Much of the fort is still intact and open to visitors. However, the buildings are very dilapidated, from a combination of Hurricane damage and neglect.

We are on a cruise for our honeymoon! We had great tours here.  Our guide was Terry.  He said he is either Terr-ific, or Terr-able.  (He was ific.)

Music, dance, and festivals are extremely important in Grenada. Soca, calypso, and reggae set the mood for their annual Carnival activities.
