Pigeon Point




















Hi Everyone! We had a lot of fun at Pigeon Point. It is one of the most important spots in St Lucia if you want to learn about history.






Pigeon Point is a place where there were battles between the French and the British more than 200 years ago! It had a fort and prison. We explored the look-out point where the British watched to see if French ships were coming to Saint Lucia.






They had big cannons that they used to fight the French when they saw them. The island switched from French to English possession 14 times until the English finally won!








We had to walk up a very steep hill to see it. Look at us, we are in the underground chamber where they stored their gun powder.



There were a lot of birds eating things on the ground. Their feathers are good camoflauge. Can you find the bird in this picture? It's hard. You can click on the picture to make it bigger.

Did you get a chance to go swimming? Is the water tyed? Were you guys standing on the 24 pounder, or the 11 1/2 inch mortar in the photo above? It's great to hear from you.

  3. Flat Erika and Autumn,

    That is quite a beautiful place, huh! You girls are so lucky to be playing in the sand and enjoying the sights. We're finally starting to warm up a bit here in Torrance. :)

    I spoke with Mrs. Schneider yesterday. She thinks the blog of your adventures is super cool. In the 7 years she's had her students do the Flat Stanley project, she's never seen anything quite like this! She loves how educational it is. :) I assured her that you would be home in time for Open House and we await your return home. Have fun!

    Kristi
