The complications that are me
just some random thoughts and stuff i hate to keep in my head too long
Day 2 of Independence
I thought today I'd decide to share a lil of our patriotic and tourism side.

here's our national flag. vibrant and colourful, no? Its red is a symbol of harmony, courage and unity; green representing the lush vegetation of the island; the yellow showing the beauty of the sun and the friendliness of our people. Each star also represents each parish of the country, the one in the middle being out capital.

Our national Coat of Arms, the top having the Bouganvillia, our national flower/plant, the animal on the left being the armadillo and the bird on the right being our Leptotila wellsi AKA the Grenada dove, which is actually exclusive to our island

Our main export crop, and though it may look unfamiliar to you, I'm sure you or your parents have it well in stock. It is none other than the nutmeg, and we are the second top producer of this fine spice, one of the many spices that give us the nickname "spice isle". It's also on our flag ;D blaugh
