Morning at the Beach

This morning I took Vasco with me to Grand Anse Beach. This beach is one of the more popular beaches in Grenada and SGU has student housing located right on the beach. I however had never visited the beach, more from laziness and not really having any reason to (I guess if I had nothing to do and plenty of time and money, I'd got beach hopping in Grenada) but anyway, it was both Vasco and my first time at this beach, though it was Vasco's first time at the beach, period. It's a gorgeous beach. Better than I had ever envisioned. I can see now why it's so popular and why so many of the students love to live on the Grand Anse campus.

Anyway, I had to go visit the dive shop which was loctated on the beach to pick up my books and pay, so Vasco and I walked the 10 minutes to the beach and the 15 min it took to get to the other end of the beach where the dive shop was located.

When we first got to the beach, there was this little dog... dunno what type of breed.. small, short, white, fluffy tail with some sable patches. Her name was Angel and belonged to, I presume Grenadian, a guy who worked at another dive shop on the beach. She loved the water and would run into it, lay down in it, regardless of the waves washing up around or over her. She played tag with Vasco who didn't seem too interested in playing, but she sure didn't let up. She'd come at him full force, kind of like Lady does, and just pounce on him occasionally even knocking him over.


But Vasco seemed to enjoy himself on the beach. He'd run into the water when I called to him, even sometimes allow the waves to wash up to as much as his neck. He didn't seem afraid, just cautious.. Prob a few more outings on the beach, and he'll be chasing the waves.


But yeah, I was impressed by the beach. Got somewhat burned because I didn't think about the sun being up (duh) and I didn't realize the walk would be that long. No matter. It's all good...
