Greetings from St. Lucia

Well for Spring Break this year my wife and I decided to go to St. Lucia. Usually when you tell someone you're going to St. Lucia they say "Wow, that's great!" but then immediately have this look in their eyes like hmmm... Where's St. Lucia? Well it is a stones-throw away from Martinique, St. Vincent and Barbados in the Caribbean (now you know).

Let me say that I thoroughly enjoyed myself! If you go you MUST pull a chair up to the bar and order a Dirty Banana (I know it sounds erotic). It should be their national drink; I must have had 30 of them! Let me show you a few highlights from the trip:

Pic of the island and one of the towns located on the coast (Piton in the background).


The rain forest (which I didn't even know they had until I got there!)


The volcanic mud pit with heated mud flowing straight from the volcano up ahead. And YES I went into the mud pit and ruined my trunks and smelled like sulfur all day... and I would gladly do it again tomorrow if I could!


And lastly, the beaches with their white sand, coconut trees, and blue saltwater.


If you ever get a chance go checkout St. Lucia. You won't be disappointed... and try a Dirty Banana too! Cheers
