St Lucia, West Indies was a fabulous place to vacation. I really relaxed and had a more local experience than most tourists might, thanks to some really good friends that will be retiring there in the next couple of years. Stayed in one of their villas. Hired a local cook and steel band for a party one night in their backyard. Chicken Roti, a curried chicken dish wrapped in a handmade tortilla (roti) was served. This was one of my favorite dishes. The fruit was amazing. I had fruit I'd never tried before; wax apples, cashew fruit, breadfruit, wild guava. The mangos, pineapples and bananas were out of this world.
I searched for sea glass and found only a handful. I'm sure there were beaches left unexplored by us , more adventure for the next trip. There's so much to do there you can't get it all in 12 days!
The colors on the island were so inspiring. From the flowers and ocean to the buildings and food. Color everywhere. The colors are swirling around in my head. I need to set aside some time and create something while it's all fresh in my mind.
Where's my pina colada?
