It’s always nice to get company because we get to see St. Lucia again through fresh eyes.
Our friends, Zuzka and Milan and their two year old son Tomas are visiting for the next month. We picked them up last week and they’re already impressed with the beauty of the Island and with the warm temperatures.
Tomas loves swimming so he swims in the pool and the ocean several times a day. They arrived at Hewanorra, the airport in Vieux Fort that is about an hour and a half drive south of the Island. As with most visitors we took them to the beach before heading home. And we had a couple of Piton, ‘’the local beer’’, in a cooler. If you’re thinking of coming to visit, you can expect the same treatment :)
Now that we live in Rodney Bay, the tourist hub of the island, our visitors can come and go much more easily. We’re a five minute walk to the beach and a ten minute walk to the mall.

We ventured a little further last week when we went into Castries. There was only one cruise ship in port but by all reports, there will be even more cruise ships visiting St. Lucia this year.
Zuzka admitted to being a little intimidated walking through downtown. It does take a bit of getting used to.
This is the inside of the Roman Catholic church downtown. It’s made of stone on the outside but wood on the inside. 65 percent of the population in St. Lucia is Catholic.
Norm has been outdoing himself at the market these days. The selection of fruits and vegetables varies with the season. Mangoes are done right now but grapefruit is at its peak. Check out the red bananas we can only find on occasion and look at the size of the avocados. They are superb. For those looking for a challenge, see if you can correctly identify all 20 of the examples of produce shown in the picture. The first one to send in a correct response gets a week's stay at the Hamel St. Lucian retreat :)
