Visiting George

Posted by on March 3, 2012

Adventures awaited as the Glenn parents descended on Grenada.

We were lucky enough to have the best part of Utah fly out to visit us this past week. Our whirlwind week began with a morning of relaxation at the pristine University Club Pool.

But before long we were climbing the steep stairs up to the top of Fort George, where Grenada’s Prime Minister meet his bloody end in 1983. You can still see the bullet holes in the basketball court’s stone wall and the rusty pole that holds up the backboard. A weather-worn copper plaque commemorates the names of the men who died here alongside one woman – the pregnant friend of Prime Minister Bishop. I wrote a little about the day on my blog post here. 

David’s stomping grounds weren’t too far away. The small Grenadian General Hospital sits right below the fort. The large room that makes up the internal medicine ward even looks out on the road where we (and all the other tourists) enter the fort.

Here are all the pictures from the day!
