Deep in the mountains of Grenada, there lies a natural wonder.
A couple of natural sulfur springs can be found in Claboné. Somehow, the springs are connected to a volcanic system, in turn, causing the water to be ever-warm. The springs even steam up during rainfall.
Apart from it being a natural warm bath, it contains a great deal of sulfur. This is the sulfur that soap is made of.
Rubbing two rocks together creates a pasty substance (sulfur), which can be directly applied to the skin to treat sun burns and to cleanse the skin.
(note that these sulfur springs do not have a stench that other sulfur springs in the Caribbean may have.)
All in all, this is a great, natural way to get therapy. Taking a dip will leave you feeling and looking younger.

After a long road trip through the country side, and up into the mountains near Bylands, we made it to our destination. We picked a few Nutmegs before we made our way to the sulfur springs.
The nutmeg, unlike any other crop, has many uses. In fact, every part of the Nutmeg is usable:
Pod - used to make the famous Nutmeg jam.
Mace - oils from the mace can be used as a pain reliever. It is also said that mace is important in the use of airline fluid, for it does not freeze at high altitudes.
Shell - It can be spread across the ground or yard for a decorative look. It is also known as the poor man's burglar alarm, because it makes a cracking noise when you step on it.
Nut - This is the heart of the mystical fruit. It adds a lot of spice to your food. But apart from giving your food that special flavour, sucking on this can relieve you of diarrhea, and even a mild stroke.
These are just a very few of the many uses and benefits of the Nutmeg.
Grenada is the second largest exporter of Nutmeg in the world, with Indonesia being the largest.

Grenada is known for the best J'ouvert during its carnival time. J'ouvert is a time where thousands of people gather on the streets in the wee hours of the morning of the second Monday of August. The participants are usually decked off in paint, mud, powder, or anything they can find.
The highlight of J'ouvert is the iconic 'Jab Jab'.
The Jab Jab is someone who is covered in a black substance, usually tar or old engine oil, sometimes with horns on his head.
Some Jab Jab carry big chains, reptiles, bush, blow horns, buckets and so. Some also have raw salt-fish in their mouths with red food colouring on it.
Some go to the extreme and drive go-carts, ride in toilets and even make-shift coffins.

We are on our way to find a very attractive location in Grenada. The sulfur springs.
It wasn't easy getting through the rough, mountainous terrain in a mini van.
Usually, it's not this sunny up here. We're lucky we didn't get stuck in any mud.

The Annandale Falls is one of the most visited places in Grenada for tourists, and even locals.
Sometimes, people are lucky to catch locals leaping off the cliff high above, straight into the water below.
It is an art that must be mastered, because a lot of people have been injured while jumping.
