first in-COURT experience involved accompanying Noga to a magistrate's
hearing where we expected her to serve as a witness in a burglary
case. Noga arrived with an entourage. Myself, along with
Noga's landlady, towed the stolen- but-later-returned evidence with us
to the tiny, hidden courthouse. Fortunately, her case was called
rather quickly, so there was little waiting. Unfortunately, it
was impossible to tell what was going on because it we couldn't hear
anything that was being said. Although the room was not enormous,
the ceiling fans coupled with the very tiny, unamplified, voices made
hearing a non-starter. It is possible that we left with more
questions than we came with. This hearing turned out to be
equivalent to a first appearance in the U.S., so she will have to go
back in January to actually give testimony.  Noga, her landlady, a bike tire, a bag full of evidence, a few chickens, and a cruise ship, all outside the courthouse.  The magistrate's courthouse. A large cruise ship was in port that day. The picture below, taken from the courthouse, shows how large these ships are in comparison to the city itself:   Since we were out of court so early, we drove around town a bit to see the sights. The following is another photo of St. George's.  |
This
week, we went to a dinner at the Aquarium restaurant complements of the
Student Government Association to celebrate all of Peter's hard work in
SGA this semester. We had a wonderful meal and enjoyed great
company before retiring for more studying...!   Fourth-termers, president Jessica Kramer - who will be greatly missed - and fourth term's most beloved musician, Mel Ona. They are moving on to St. Vincent next semester. |
SOS
adventures: this week, we checked out "Dr. Groom's" (after a bit of
searching.) It turned out that Dr. Grooms was more an event venue
than a cafe/restaurant, so we subsequently moved on to the Beach House
- just down the road - for smoothies and coffee.  Dr. Groom's   The Beach House, and a neighborly lizard who watched over us. |

LOCAL NEWS OF LOCAL INTEREST
Grenada has one "highway" called the
Maurice Bishop Highway" or simply "the strip." The divided
highway is less than a mile long, and the speed limit is 40 mph.
On the left is a bus, known as a "reggae bus," which holds 15 people
and costs $2 EC to ride (about $.80 US.) This bus, like most
reggae buses and many automobiles, is decorated with an image and a
saying, this one shows tweety bird and proclaims "Gold Digger."
