More DescriptionDid you ever wonder what it is like to like on a Caribbean island? Dr. Moore, a veterinarian who lived and worked in the Caribbean, is digging up the dirt on Grenada. Along the way he has had some discoveries and found some forgotten treasures of this culturally and botanically rich Caribbean island. The following stories take us along his treks and adventures as he discovers what makes this island such a fascinating place. Dr. Moore first came to Grenada in 1999. He found a place like no other. An island and people unique in their warmth and beauty. The island is the last one in the Caribbean chain. It lies a little over a hundred miles off the coast of South America. Its unique location has had an influence on its nature. Native animal varieties have been limited by the difficulty of getting there. A benefit of this fact is that there are no poisonous snakes. This allows for adventurous trekking. The center of Grenada is mountainous and has been for the most part left to nature. This has resulted in a diversity of plants. The random perfection of nature is prevalent on this island. The fascinating discovery is the impact nature and its bounty has had on the culture of the people. The traditions that have sprung up from human's interaction with nature are precious and still alive here. The people of this island are some of the friendliest the author has ever met. It is a land of obligatory greeting. It is a land of smiles and easy laughter. The author hopes this island stays as he met her.
