Chronicles of a Grenadian American Boy in Turks & Caicos Islands


          We were both a bit skeptical, after all… just picture

          thousands  of  people  coated  in  old  engine  oil,

          black and glistening... with big chains around their

          necks,  horns  on  their  heads,  lips  dripping  red
          liquid…  some  even  had  snakes…  and  they  would

          all be chanting “Ooh Lay Ooh Laa Jab Jab!!” all to

          the sounds of conch shells and goat skin drums.





























          I  returned  to   Providenciales  with  fond  and

          exciting  memories  of  Grenada.  We  enjoyed  the

          experience again in the years to come… but little
          did I know that in 2019 after another tremendous

          visit to Grenada, that in early 2020, the world will

          be facing a major crisis.
