Carnival!

 Today Luthur and I went to the second day of Canival! It was fun. Some of the bands had really good trumpet players :) It was cool to watch and see this cultural event. I watched some of the line jump where I live a couple weeks ago and kids carnival in my village this past Sunday.








Here is a video of one of the bands that came through!

Pigeon Island







 This is the jail on the top of Pigeon Island for the prisoners during the war.
Last Saturday I went up to Pigeon Island with Luthur. Pigeon Island used to be a fort type place during the wars. St. Lucia was 7 times British and 7 times French (it ended up British). We had a lot of fun! On the way back we found a place like Cold Stone and had some ice cream! It was great to have a taste of home :) Pigeon Island also has a great beach (though it is kinda touristy)!

Girl Guides Bake Sale!

 We did a fund raiser for the girl guide group here. We baked cake and cookies and then sold it before the fish fry. We sold out within an hour! Next time we need to make more :) We had a lot of fun! The girls loved it!
