Fort George

Last weekend we went to St. George's town and hiked up the hill to Fort George. There is a lot of history here. When the French colonized the island it was know as Fort Royal the British took Grenada back and renamed the fort to Fort George. In more recent history former Grenadian president Maurice Bishop and his cabinet were assassinated just feet away from where Janey is standing in the picture below and the bullet holes are still in the wall which have been up since the early 1700's (the day before I was born in fact Oct. 25, 1983) the US military invaded here in operation 'Urgent Fury' in response to the Cuban supported military coup and militarization of the tiny island nation.

There were Janey sized canons

Canons aimed at the cruise ships
