Just so you all can come visit me down on the island, I think it is well worth me advising you on where the heck this place is.
Some of you may only know Grenada from the news coverage many years ago when U.S. medical students were being evacuated from St. George's University due to the internal power struggle that broke out between Grenada's Prime Minister and an organized military group. Needless to say, the U.S. called for an intervention and subsequently the deployment of thousands of troops. Peace and political stability were restored, but I know what you are thinking - "Now, why on earth would I want to visit that place now?" But this was 30 years ago.. and today, there is a lightheartedness and easy-going feel portrayed for life on this island. Just check this link out for yourselves:
30 Signs You Are A Medical Student In Grenada
Grenada is a 3 island state, located in the Eastern Caribbean just northwest of Trinidad and Tobago and northeast of Venezuela. It is just slightly over 130 square miles. As one of the world's largest exporters of nutmeg, Grenada is known as the "Island of Spice." Its capitol is St. George's, which is also home to St. George's University School of Medicine.
I hear that it is also home to some of the finest beaches in the world ...
and the famous annual Carnival festivities in August. I'm getting excited!!! My dad keeps telling me that I will be sippin' a Corona and reading my Anatomy and Physiology books on the beach. I would like to think so....but I am pretty sure that won't be the case, unfortunately.
