We had visitors today!

Hi Everyone. We had a good day today. Karen invited some people who she met on her blog to come to Micoud. They came on a big cruise ship that docked in Castries. They wanted to tour the village and eat some authentic Saint Lucian food. William and Denise and their children Rebecca and Ben came by taxi. They arrived early in the morning.


While we were walking we met Darnley. Karen works with him. Darnley is telling them the story of Sir John Compton. He is the Father of Saint Lucia. Sir John was a banana farmer from Karen's village. He stood up to the people who owned the sugar plantations. He drove them off the island in the 1970s. He worked hard for the people and showed them how to grow banana's. When Saint Lucia gained their independence from the United Kingdom, he became the first Prime Minister. He died in 2007 and everyone really misses him.










William bought everyone lunch today! Wasn't that nice? We really liked meeting his family and it's something we will remember for a long time. Their children were so nice that when we took a picture they asked if they could hold us.


After lunch William and his family had to leave. We were sad to see them go. We ate so much food that we decided to go for a walk out to the point where the sea is rough. It takes about fifteen minutes to get their from Karen's house. We saw some cute goats and there were also a lot of cactus along the way. We were surprised to see all the cactus!

We finally got the sea. It is VERY scary! There are very big waves. It is beautiful and Karen says she likes to go there often.




Listen to Jay. He's talking to the goats. Isn't he funny!

This picture is of a rock. If you look very carefully the rock resembles the shape of Saint Lucia. Everyone likes to go there and admire the beauty!
