Letters from Grenada

a sense of place

grenada back yard

This was the view from my back verandah in Grenada. It’s impossible for me to look at this photo and *not* feel happy. I must have spent thousands of hours sitting out there, reading, writing, talking to my mom, playing with my son or just sitting quietly, gazing at the mountains and soaking up the astonishing shades of green. This photo speaks to me… It says peace, home, dazzling sun and clean briny scent of the ocean.

(Inspired by my friend Frageelay and her sense of place meme. Originally posted on my Tumblr.)

That’s a concrete storage shed. Not exactly aesthetic, but sometimes function trumps form.

My name is María. I like wasabi, patronize bunny rabbits and think red wine really needs to stop pretending it's not purple.

I lived in Caribbean for four glorious years. My son - Joaquín the illustrious Bean - was born on the island of Grenada. He's beautiful, brilliant and has two birth certificates.

Now we're back in the land of snow and afternoon sunsets, and all the diet Coke and Thomas the Tank Engine in the world won't cushion the blow of such culture shock.

This is our story.
