Grenada tips for Mount Cinnamon guests

If you need more details on something, recommendations for a topic I didn't cover, a contact number, or anything else, just ask!

General/logistical

• Everybody in Grenada is on WhatsApp — I generally try to find a contact for wherever I want to go and arrange it ahead of time. Grenadian websites are next to useless (horribly out of date), Google Maps sometimes works (but not reliably), etc. As far as I can tell people in Grenada operate mostly by word of mouth so when in Rome . . .
• Carry cash — outside of clear-cut tourist spots, they're not always going to take cards.
• Buses are fun and cheap — $2.50 EC per person each way (so just make sure you have $5EC bills) — LMK if you want more info on how these work
• Know your taxi-man — my friend Shawn McMeo can help get you anywhere, do anything, etc. Get him on your WhatsApp and just ask him anything you want. Eventually he will make money from you because he (and probably his friend Jomo) will drive you som

Andy's weird Blade Runner print request

I bought snippets of real film cut from a theater reel of the original Blade Runner movie and I'd like to get a frame enlarged as a print.

The film

Sara Blaise has the film (they're positives not negatives) in an envelope here in VT. There are 3 filmstrips in there (see below). Just please ask her to send the envelope wherever it needs to go. Please make sure the lab returns the film!
