World Thinking Day is a holiday celebrated every Feb. 22 by Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world. It is a day when we all think about what life is like for girls elsewhere in the world. I thought I’d celebrate Thinking Day by sharing a little of what life here in Grenada is like. This is only my second day, though, so I asked my friends (Flat Stacy and my friends from Newcastle) to scout out some things to share with you…
On her visit to Grenada, Stacy and Celeste decided to go down to the beach to see what happens there. She saw some people using the ocean to wash themselves, others going swimming for exercise, and others swimming with spears to catch octopi and lobster. Stacy considered going snorkelling, but realized the mask would probably not fit her. Instead, Stacy decided to go fishing. Fishing is a common source of income for local people here, although many people grow spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon, and there is lots of tourism on the island.
Because it is a tropical island, there are fruit trees and flowers everywhere. Here Stacy stopped to smell the national flower – the Bougainvillea.
Grenada recently celebrated their independence day. Grenadians are proud of their beautiful country. Sarita went with Maria to a local celebration where they spotted some Grenadian Girl Guides in a parade. 
Sarita also got a Grenadian flag to wave at the parade.
Many people come to Grenada to learn to become doctors and veterinarians. Stacy decided to go see the St. George's University campus, where Dan, Celeste and Matt go to school. While at the university, she saw students spending a lot of hours a day listening to professors in lecture halls. Here she listened to a lecture.
Other hours of the day are spent in the library, quietly studying from books.
