Petite Martinique

I have been procrastinating posting this pictures for multiple reasons but thought today was a good day to finally get them up for all to see.

Myself and four other Peace Corps Volunteers took a much needed mini vacation to a neighbor island last weekend called Petite Martinique. Grenada is a tri-island state, with sisters Carriacou and PM just a short boat ride away. I hadn't heard much about PM other than its relatively small (population: 1000) and everyone is related, but what I really learned is that the island is almost completely self sufficient, the people are extremely generous and life truly moves slower then the rest of the world.

We stayed in a nice little guesthouse on top a massive hill and had one of the most stunning views I have ever seen. We were surrounded by water and could see about 5 other islands from our house. It was truly a remarkable getaway.

Titanic anyone?

Our guesthouse. Just kidding.

So relaxing

The island in front is called Petite St. Vincent. A private island, with resort rooms costing 800 US dollars per night.

A sweaty mess from climbing that hill.

Just having some fun.
