Off to the races....crab races that is!

Once again Dave was studying his little heart out, along with every other 4 term student, so the SO group decided we needed a night out....Dave agreed! But I think he wanted me out so that I would stop talking his ear off...what can I say I missed him for a whole two months and we have some catching up to do!! hahaha.

Since arriving on the island, I have been hearing about the infamous crab races. And yes, it literally is what you think....an arena (hahah small wooden circle) and the competitors (the crabs).  Each person chooses a crab (they are numbered) and you place your bets on which crab you think will make it out of the arena first!!! Only in Grenada would this be a sport lol!

It is certainly something you must experience if you ever come visit us in Grenada!!!!!

The Arena outside (but it started to rain, so the races were moved indoors)

Miss Julie and Miss Kim ready for some serious action....and realizing one had not charged her camera battery and the other left her SD card at home!!! They are two peas in a pod!

Waiting for the races to begin...and you can see the rain starting to come down!

Miss Taylor and I...now indoors!

The competitors

# 5 was representing Canada. He didn't move much...wonder if he had a rough boat ride over the day before!!

Go Canada Go

Still in the gates

And they're off....slowly, but they are off.

Canada didn't win...I think he was not too sure about the drop off at the end. He hung on for dear life.

All the Significant Other ladies!!!
