Our Grenada Blog

This is a blog of our life in Grenada, our thoughts on life and the way we view things around us, the way we see life through our sometimes rose colored glasses.

Moni was walking into the kitchen the other night when she was nearly attached and dragged off by this interloper.

Ever had something uglier than a bloodhound which didn't get enough sleep, stake its claim to your home?

Well, here it is!

Not too sure if its a spider, beetle or something the dogs dug up, but its BIG!

Any ideas? Two suggestions so far are some type of beetle.....? and a scorpion spider.....suggestions welcome!

By the way, we showed it the door...forcibly!

	Yikes! That is frightening looking. I almost fell off my chair when I clicked and enlarged the picture. The joys of living in the tropics... By the way, how big was this thing?
