St. Lucia tour

When we arrived in St. Lucia, we met Al and Jean sailing on Ryen's Quest from Novia Scotia. The four of us hired a taxi driver (Jonah) to take us on an island tour. One stop was at the Government House in which resides the Queen of England's representive, Dame Pearlette Louisy. St. Lucia is a parliamentary democracy with its own Constitution modeled under the British system.





The Pitons overlooking the town of Soufriere.






Sulfur springs in the volcanic park.







Boiling water in the sulfur springs.








One of many waterfalls in the forest. All the people are there because you can swim in the pool this waterfall forms. Al and I went in and stood under the waterfall - that is the most fresh water I have had on me since I left Albuquerque. It was very refreshing. In addition to many waterfalls, this island seems to have more butterflies than other islands. We see them everywhere.
