Much of life in Grenada is lived outside on the street, and rain didn’t seem to affect that at all.]]>

Fall Protection #1 Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

 There’s a lot of construction work that goes on in Grenada that would make OHSA cringe. This guy was at least wearing some fall protection. Still I don’t think you could get me up there where he is, at least not in enough of a relaxed state to be worth beans at actually getting any work done.]]>

Scrubbing it Down Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

I’d rather take a siesta on a hot afternoon (see yesterday’s photo) but if I had to work, something involving cool water and bare feet would be a good choice.]]>

Siesta in Blue Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

The sultry hot afternoons in Grenada are very conducive to naps, although I preferred a softer landing spot for mine when I was there.]]>
