Grenada, Day 3

Did more touring stuff. we learned about the counseling services, clinical skills stuff students learn, and then lots about the vet school. Vet school seems good. Got to watch kids dissect goat leg, got to pet lots of animals, and got to talk to more students, who all say go to a US school, but if you can't, then go to St George's, which sounds about right from what I've seen.

We were supposed to be done pretty early, but nothing works on time here, so we weren't, but still got some time in for swimming and rum punch with freshly grated nutmeg. I did some reading, then avoided sun poisoning by going inside and watching Golden Girls. TV is weird. Some channels are in English, some are in Spanish. Some are sometimes in English, and then you flip back a few hours later and they're in Spanish. News is all local NYC stations, so I knew all about bridge traffic and snow. I watched Jerry Maguire in Spanish for awhile.

But then, more importantly, was dinner. We ate at the University Club, which is a fancy, faculty-only establishment. All open-air dining -- I don't think any restarants in Grenada actually have windows. First was a cosmo, then curried cream of parsnip soup, then dinner. I had very tasty fillet with tasty fries, and a decent amount of georges dubouef cotes du rhone, which was perfectly reasonable after having finished a fairly potent cosmo (I'm sometimes not a fan of reds). For dessert, my new friends and I split a bunch of things, but the coconut-laced crème brulee was the best thing, plus some baileys and coffee, which was just a little more alcohol than I probably should have had.

Back at the hotel, I probably stayed up for one more drink on the beach, but who can say... the late evenings are a bit of a blur.
