IGrenada iseningizimu yeCaribbean, ngamadigri ayi-12 enyakatho ne-equator nangaphansi kwebhande lesiphepho. Iziphepho azivamile. Kuyisiqhingi sentaba-mlilo esixegayo futhi esinehlathi elinethezekile elinamakhasethi ayishumi aphawulekayo. Ugu olumangelengele lwalesi siqhingi nemifula kuvikela ingxenye enkulu yohlangothi lwe-Atlantic emagagasini amakhulu, kanti uhlangothi lwaseCaribbean luzolile. Ngaphezu kwengxenye yesiqhingi kunama-backwood angenamaphutha, futhi yonke enye indawo enamahlathi igcwele abantu abambalwa. Njengomphumela wendawo enamawala, kunemibono emangalisayo kuyo yonke indawo. Izintaba ezinhle kakhulu, izigodi eziluhlaza, nenqwaba yolwandle olucwebezelayo zibonakala ngokungalindelekile njengoba imigwaqo idabula ezungeza indawo engashisi. Ngaphandle kwakho konke impilo ejwayelekile engahlelwanga, iGrenada ingenye yezindawo ezibalulekile zokuLungisa iLeatherback Sea Turtle eCaribbean. I-Leatherback Sea Turtle iyisilwane esihuquzelayo sesine ngobukhulu emhlabeni, ingakhula ize ifike kumamitha ayisithupha ubude, futhi isisindo esingafika kuma-6 lbs. Njalo ngonyaka endaweni ethile ebangeni lamakhaya angama-2,000 no-700 1,000 abekwa engxenyeni esenyakatho yesiqhingi. Abantu bendawo kanye nabantu abavela kuyo yonke indawo umhlaba beza ukuzobungaza lesi sehlakalo esikhethekile futhi bakhethe ukumaka, ukutadisha, nokuqoqa imininingwane ebalulekile ngalolu hlobo oluyingozi.
Imvelo ilawula lesi siqhingi, noma kunjalo, kukhona nezixha zemisebenzi namabala okuphenywa. Amakhonsathi, ama-regattas ahamba ngezinyawo ahlukile, i-National Museum, indawo yokuhlanza yama-rum yasendulo, izingadi ezinhle, nezizinda ezisebenzayo ezakha i-cocoa, i-nutmeg, nezinhlobonhlobo eziningi zama-flavour, imikhiqizo ye-organic, nemifino konke okuheha izivakashi ezimbili nabantu bendawo. IGrenada mhlawumbe inokubhukuda okuhle kakhulu futhi yenze yacwila le ndawo kubandakanya nendawo yenhlekelele yeBianca C, ebizwa nangokuthi iTitanic yaseCaribbean. Kubuye kube yikhaya lepaki eliyinhloko elicwilisiwe emhlabeni. IGrenada ingesinye seziqhingi ezinesizotha seCaribbean lapho kungacatshangwa khona ukuthenga isikebhe esivikela isivunguvungu sendawo eshisayo. Abantu abaningi bazihambisa izikebhe zabo eGrenada ngesikhathi sesiphepho esishisayo. Kukhona inethiwekhi enkulu, esethiwe yokuchwetha / ukuhamba ngomkhumbi. Ama-marinas ayisishiyagalombili anika ukulungiswa futhi alungise ukuphathwa, ukugcinwa nokuhlinzekwa kwezikebhe ezincane ezifika kuma-supercherts angama-300-foot.
Ukunqoba imimoya yezohwebo kugcina izinga lokushisa kwenye indawo ebangeni lama-70 kanye nama-88 degrees (okujwayelekile ama-77 kuya kuma-81 degrees) kanti inkathi yeblustery ingaziwa ngokuthi inkathi eluhlaza. Yize kunezimvula eziningi kusukela ngo-Ephreli kuya kuNovemba, izihlambi zimfishane — zivame ukutholakala ngaphansi kwemizuzu engu-15. AmaGrenadians amaningi athola isakhiwo sokuvikela isikhashana, enze isikhathi esilahlekile ngezindaba zomakhelwane, bese ngemuva kwalokho aqhubeke nendlela lapho ilanga libuya. Njengoba usondela ehlathini lemvula, lina kakhulu futhi livame kakhulu.
ICapital City, iSt. George, iyindawo ephithizelayo yawo wonke amabhizinisi amakhulu nezitolo futhi ngemuva kwalokho, kumane nje kwaba ukushayisana okuncane emvelweni. Ama-58% abantu ahlala noma azungeze iSt. Georges noma iGrenville, elinye idolobha elikhulu esiqhingini. Iningi labanye, kufaka phakathi i-ex-pats, bahlala noma basondele ogwini. AmaGrenadians avulekile, ayamema futhi ukukhanya kwawo akunakuphikiswa. Wonke umuntu ujwayelana kahle nawo wonke umuntu njengoba esondela osukwini lwakhe. Ngokwamandla okuphumelela onawo emgqeni kanye nendlela evuselelwe yomuntu ngamunye, basho ekuseni okukhulu, futhi wonke umuntu osemgqeni uthi buya ekuseni kakhulu. Kunzima ukuhlala uzizwa uthukile lapho wonke umuntu efisela wena okuhle lapho uya khona. Ngashayela indawo yokudlela eseduze ngelinye iSonto ukubheka ukuthi singadla yini lapho. Umnikazi wendawo waphendula wathi, “Sivalekile namhlanje, kodwa-ke uma kungenzeka ube yimpango, ngizokuphakela.” Lolu hlobo lobudlelwano lujwayelekile eGrenada. Abantu benza umzamo okhethekile wokusiza. Lapho sishiya imoto yethu emgwaqweni omncane, singahlosile saphonsa isondo lethu langaphambili esiteshini sebhokisi esivulekile nesijule kakhulu. Amathambo emoto abekade elele ku-asphalt. Ngenkathi sizama ukuhlela ukuthi sizokwenzenjani masinyane, amadoda amane aseGrenadia azithela phezu kwethu, athola imoto yethu, sayimisa emuva, sathinta i-hood, futhi asishaya indiva.
Kwakukhona futhi nesikhathi esalahleka lapho ngincoma enye indlela enqamula ehlathini lemvula. Njengoba kukhombisile umhlahlandlela, umgwaqo wangena ngqo edolobheni. Ngenkathi sihamba, inkambo kuvele ukuthi icinene kakhulu asikwazanga ukuqhubeka. Umthamo wentaba wawungakwesobunxele, kanti i-bluff eyahlakazeka yayingakwesokudla. Ngenkathi sigqigqa sikhasa phansi ngomgwaqo, kwaqhamuka umuntu wezwi lakhe evela esihlahleni wathi, "Sthandwa sami, wenzani kule ndawo enqatshelwe uNkulunkulu?" Wagigitheka wasivezela ukuthi umgwaqo ubungaphephile isikhathi eside futhi wasiphambukisela emuva ukuze sithuthuke. Lo muzwa wenethiwekhi nokusekelwa uhlupha lesi siqhingi.
AmaGrenadians aqinile ngokwedlulele, kepha, kuyindlela entekenteke, ethanda ukubhekana nempilo. Bayakuvuma ukuthi impilo ingumzabalazo futhi banxusa uNkulunkulu ukuthi abasekele. Banobudlelwano bomuntu ngamunye noNkulunkulu obungelula neze ukusondela kubo. Abazami ukuguqula omunye umuntu. Uma kwenzeka ubuza ukuthi bayeza yini kusasa, impendulo efanele ingaguquguquki ithi “Ngempela, thokozisa uNkulunkulu” noma “uNkulunkulu uyavuma.”
Ifa kanye nemihlangano ibalulekile. Izingoma zeCalypso ezinikeza ukuhlaziywa okuqhubekayo ngentuthuko yakamuva, i-Carnival, i-Pageantry, imisebenzi yobuciko ejwayelekile, umculo wePan, ukuhamba kwe-Afrika, nokushaya izigubhu kugujwa ngokuphelele njengoba amaGrenadians ezama ukugcina konke okuhle okwenza le noveli yesiqhingi iphile futhi inamandla ngenkathi ibamba imboni yezokuvakasha , inqubekela phambili, kanye nokwenza izinto ezintsha.
Abantu baseGrenadiya bajabule ngemihlangano yabo yokudla yangakubo — ikakhulukazi isidlo esidliwayo esidlangalaleni esidliwa umphakathi, i-Oil Down. Ikhiqizwa usebenzisa ukhukhunathi womhlabathi, inhlanzi, inkukhu, i-callaloo, amadombolo, nama-flavour flavour futhi ibizwa ngegama layo kukakhukhunathi opheka ube usoso. Yisinye sezitsha eziningi eziphawulekayo nezithembekile. Izindlela zokupheka zase-Afrika, isiFulentshi kanye namaNdiya nokunambitheka kwazo kunambitha ukudla kwasendaweni.
IGrenada yaziwa njengeSpice Island ngenxa yobuningi bamaphunga athuthukisiwe. Iletha ama-nutmeg angama-33% emhlabeni, futhi abantu abaningi bababheka njengabahamba phambili ngenxa yokunambitheka kwayo okunephunga nobuso obunzima. INutmeg iyingxenye ebalulekile yeGrenada ukuthi kukhulunywa ngayo kubhanna womphakathi nakuhlelo lokwakha iphalamende.
