Beautiful St. Lucia




















The ship docks in St. Lucia at 8 am and the sun is shining bright into our room. I run to the balcony and right before me, a beautiful island stares me in the face. I awake my boyfriend and we hurry to get dress because we can't wait to see what the island has to offer.

While touring Castries, the capital city of St. Lucia, we visit an art studio, historic landmarks, shops and get to stop and talk with some natives.

My Best Moment:

Drinking a cola while the rain falls lightly on my face . It showers for only 2 minutes and the sun comes back out.
