| Flowers of a Palm Tree |
Yesterday we took an island tour with the crews of two other boats here in Grenada. Our first stop was at the Laura Spice and Herb Garden where the guide showed us many of the herbs and spices that grow here on Grenada helping to give it the title of the"Spice Island". Our senses were overwhelmed with all the things we saw, smelled and tasted there.

Nutmeg is huge here and wherever there are tourists there are local people selling nutmeg seeds, ground nutmeg, and spice necklaces. Below you see the dried husk, the mace covering, and the nutmeg seed.
