ST. GEORGE'S, THE CAPITOL OF GRENADA

The harbour is like most. Marina takes a great deal of the small, well enclosed bay, not leaving much room for the fishing boats, a few moorings and the anchorage. The main street that runs by the bay is lined with restaurants and stores, catering boaters and the cruise ship visitors. Those, that know the town, narrow and steep streets lead to St. George's market. Many markets have a cent of discarded vegetables. This market is so fragrant, the smell of spices, especially nutmeg, stretches well outside the market boundaries. One side of the market is occupied by sandal makers and a few stands with colourful clothing. You often see the colours of Ethiopia being worn not only on Grenada, but other islands as well. Some girls' dresses, beaded necklaces, crochet hats, vendors' small boats are in combination of colours red, yellow and green. Many islanders believe Haile Selassie being their God.
