Grenada's Independence

Well I wasn't able to get to the market in St. George's as planned this Saturday, but I'm serious about next Saturday. Bus rides at 9 AM on a Saturday morning just aren't as appealing as my pillow. I also didn't catch the Superbowl over the weekend. We went out for dinner for Alex's (vet student friend of ours) birthday instead. We made it back in time, but none of us have cable so the other guys went to watch it at a bar, but I didn't care about either of the teams so I just watched the funny commercials online today. Kristen and Crystal got cable today, so that was really unfortunate timing. As for school, this week will be my first set of labs and small group discussions, so soon my free time will start to disappear. Grenadian Independence Day is this Saturday, which is a waste of a perfectly good holiday since now we don't get a day off of school. There are a bunch of red, yellow, and green flags hung around town and campus, but other than that I don't really know what goes into the celebration. I hope it's a fun time though. My included picture today is of a walking stick bug which was crawling up the exterior wall of my apartment. As you can see my building is painted a bright sky blue, so I don't believe the insect fully understands the concept of camouflage. Also included is a little parade of goats that wandered underneath my balcony last week. I see them grazing a lot on the back road that I take to class in the morning. My favorite is the little brown one.
