Waterfalls

Concord Falls

Today I learned that I love Waterfalls.  We went to three different waterfalls at three different places in Grenada:  Concord Falls, Annadale Falls, and Royal Mount Carmel Falls.

The first waterfall was called Concord Falls.  My brothers had fun diving off a 10 foot cliff into the pool of water at the bottom of the falls.  I liked swimming in the water, but I didn't jump off the cliff.  The waterfall was so beautiful because the water was so clear.  There were also lots of big rocks to sit on while the water rushed past our feet.

After swimming at the Concord falls, we went to the Annandale Falls.  When we got there, I got to hold a Monkey - he was so cute.  My friends told me there are lots of monkies in Grenada, but this is the only one I have seen so far. Then we had a picnic before we swam under the falls.  I liked these falls because the pool wasn't so deep and rocky and we could go behind the waterfall.  I would have liked to swim here all day, but we had to leave early enough to go to the next waterfall.



Royal Mount Carmel Falls

Then we traveled to the otherside of Grenada to Royal Mount Carmel Falls.  This was a very high waterfall - my mom told me it is over 70 feet high.  There were also some smaller waterfalls down the river that my brothers slid down like a waterslide.  I couldn't slide down the river waterslide because the water at the bottom was too deep.




Cocoa

We also picked some cocoa from the trees growing next to the falls.  My dad cut it in half and gave me a white cocoa bean from inside.  I tried sucking on it, but I didn't really like it.  Mom says they make chocolate by drying these cocoa beans and then griding them into powder.  I think the chocolate tastes better then sucking the juice off the beans.

WOW, what a busy day.  I never knew there were so many waterfalls in Grenada.
